New York Times Bestseller

Winner of the Women's Prize for Fiction

World Fantasy Awards Finalist.

The instant New York Times bestselling novel from the author of _Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell_, an intoxicating, hypnotic book set in a dreamlike alternative reality.

Piranesi's house is no ordinary building: its rooms are infinite, its corridors endless, its walls are lined with thousands upon thousands of statues, each one different from all the others. Within the labyrinth of halls an ocean is imprisoned; waves thunder up staircases, rooms are flooded in an instant. But Piranesi is not afraid; he understands the tides as he understands the pattern of the labyrinth itself. He lives to explore the house.

There is one other person in the house—a man called The Other, who visits Piranesi twice a week and asks for help with research into A Great and Secret Knowledge. But as Piranesi explores, evidence emerges of another person, and a terrible truth begins to unravel, revealing a world beyond the one Piranesi has always known.

For readers of Neil Gaiman's _The Ocean at the End of the Lane_ and fans of Madeline Miller's _Circe_, _Piranesi_ introduces an astonishing new world, an infinite labyrinth, full of startling images and surreal beauty, haunted by the tides and the clouds.

[Welcome to the Inkborne Society ✨- I'm so glad you're here! To kick things off, I’ve put together a few Q&As to share a bit more about me, what this space is for, and what you can expect around here. Can't wait to build this community together!\\
\\
Why are you excited to join Bindery?\\
\\
The best stories are the ones we experience together, and I’m thrilled to join Bindery to connect and build community in a new way, share a broader range of content, and uplift diverse voices across all genres, especially fantasy, sci-fi, and dark academia.\\
\\
What can members expect?\\
\\
Expect a space to connect, share, and celebrate the books we love, access to a community Discord, buddy reads, and exclusive Bindery content including editing tutorials, long-form reviews, monthly lists of new SFF releases, book recommendation articles, thoughts on book-to-screen adaptations, and more!\\
\\
What are some of your favorite books and series?\\
\\
- Piranesi (Susanna Clarke)\\
\\
- Blood Over Bright Haven (M.L. Wang)\\
\\
- The Broken Earth Trilogy (N.K. Jemisin)\\
\\
- The Poppy War Trilogy (R.F. Kuang)\\
\\
- Circe (Madeline Miller)\\
\\
- The Sword of Kaigen (M.L. Wang)\\
\\
- The Paper Menagerie (Ken Liu)\\
\\
- Best Served Cold (Joe Abercrombie)\\
\\
- This is How You Lose the Time War (Amal El-Mohtar & Max Gladstone)\\
\\
- A Song of Ice and Fire (George R.R. Martin)\\
\\
- The Spear Cuts Through Water (Simon Jimenez)\\
\\
- The Hunger Games (Suzanne Collins)\\
\\
\\
What’s in the Discord, and how do I access it?\\
\\
The Inkborne Society Discord is linked at the top of my site and features channels to discuss books, film/tv, content creator tips and tricks (including ARC requests and influencer programs), and much more! To make sure your Bindery subscriber tier transfers over to Discord, please integrate your account.\\
\\
Update: As of September 2025, our newly launched community book club will also be holding discussions on Discord!\\
\\
What is Bindery?\\
\\
Bindery is a community-powered book publisher - think of it as part publishing house, part Substack, part Patreon, and part content hub all rolled into one. It gives creators a place to bring everything together: they can link content from across social platforms, share exclusive Bindery content (like articles, rec lists, videos, and polls), and connect with their audience more directly. There are also perks like Discord communities, book clubs, and whatever else creators dream up!\\
\\
One of the coolest parts of The Bindery is that Tastemakers (that’s what content creators are called on the platform) who grow strong, engaged communities have the chance to launch their very own imprint, and the community gets to be part of the entire journey - from acquisition all the way to publication!\\
\\
A Little More About Me\\
\\
Hi! My name is Amanda - I’m in my mid-twenties and based in New York City. I started creating book content about two years ago using the moniker "azhangia" and it’s been such a joy to connect with others who love stories as much as I do.\\
\\
Fantasy, mythology, sci-fi, dark academia, and literary fiction are some of my favorite genres, and I often find myself gravitating towards sad books (the more devastating, the better). When I am not reading, I can be found listening to film scores, attending dance classes, or lurking around in dessert spots around the city!\\
\\
Thank you so much for being here, and once again, welcome to The Inkborne Society.](https://azhangia.binderybooks.com/item/9FIRo8zNLlDddLHPu3jy/)
