CITY OF LAST CHANCES - ADRIAN TCHAIKOVSKY KARTO...

WINNER OF THE 2022 BRITISH SCIENCE FICTION ASSOCIATION AWARD FOR BEST NOVEL 'Endlessly
creative... so much invention peeking around every corner' Patrick Ness Arthur C. Clarke winner
and Sunday Times bestseller Adrian Tchaikovsky's triumphant return to fantasy with a darkly
inventive portrait of a city under occupation and on the verge of revolution. There has always
been a darkness to Ilmar  but never more so than now. The city chafes under the heavy hand of
the Palleseen occupation  the choke-hold of its criminal underworld  the boot of its factory
owners  the weight of its wretched poor and the burden of its ancient curse. What will be the
spark that lights the conflagration? Despite the city's refugees  wanderers  murderers  madmen
fanatics and thieves  the catalyst  as always  will be the Anchorwood - that dark grove of
trees  that primeval remnant  that portal  when the moon is full  to strange and distant
shores. Ilmar  some say  is the worst place in the world and the gateway to a thousand worse
places. Ilmar  City of Long Shadows. City of Bad Decisions. City of Last Chances. 'Ilmar is
vividly alive with ideas  conflicts  and a sense of its own history - a truly breathtaking
fantasy city  down every street a compelling story.' David Towsey 'A master at the height of
his powers. This is epic symphonic fantasy  weaving a breakneck plot through a sumptuously
dangerous world.' Ian Green 'A wonderful twisty stew of a book with a cast of fascinating
characters  set against the brilliantly realized city of Ilmar.' Django Wexler 'A triumph of a
book: wildly imaginative  immediately immersive and hypnotically compelling.' Sharon Emmerichs
