Tachyon Publications is giving away 1 physical copy (US only) and 3 digital copies (worldwide) of YOKE OF STARS, the new Birdverse novella by R. B. Lemberg.
“Haunting, nuanced, and hopeful, Yoke of Stars is essential reading.” —Izzy Wasserstein, author of These Fragile Graces, This Fugitive Heart
“This is a story about trauma and strife and magic, of stars that hold and bind and devour, and maybe, just maybe, it’s about the possibility of something else beyond the hurt and pain. The way the stories in the book touch and interweave, the way the characters in them tug and pull at each other, is beautifully done—and I love how deftly Lemberg pulls all the threads together into a complex, striking weave.” —Maria Haskins, author of Wolves and Girls
“For fellow word-nerds, Lemberg’s linguistic explorations are a thought-provoking journey into how language influences all of us. Lemberg’s command of language and narrative nuance makes this a haunting, beautiful read.” —Marian Crane, author of the Lonhra Sequence
“R. B. Lemberg’s Birdverse is one of fantasy’s most immersive, lyrical and mind-expanding universes, to which this dream of a novella adds dazzling new depths. Yoke of Stars is a beautiful tale about the stories we all live within, about the languages and connections that bind us to each other and trap us within the same. I loved Yoke of Stars and am certain this is a story I’ll return to over and over in the years to come.” —Jason Sanford, author of Plague Birds, finalist for the Nebula and Philip K. Dick Awards
