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.'
