Amid the chaos of a dying city ruled by colonizers, three rivals—a thief, a slumlord, and an heiress—race to find a hidden cache of magic that will decide the city’s fate.
In the occupied city of Tejomaya, calor—a magical fossil fuel—is found only in the blood rains that fall from the sky. While a six-month drought has brought Tejomaya to a desperate standstill, rumors of a secret stash of magic propel three unlikely treasure seekers to risk everything.
Tenacious and street-smart Zain Jatav has been forced to steal calor for her slumlord bosses for years. Finding the magic reserve might be her only key to freedom. But she’ll have to contend with Iravan Khotar, a slumlord himself and an ambitious revolutionary hoping to use the same magic to save his people from the mysterious illness devastating the slums—and to bolster a fight against their oppressors. Meanwhile, heiress Anastasia Drakos leads the ruling council of Tejomaya from the safety of a nearby island. With the hidden magic, she could finally take full control of the city and crush the slums beneath her unyielding fist.
As Zain, Iravan, and Anastasia draw closer to finding the treasure, their paths tangle, and not for the first time—they met before, a decade ago, in a fire that destroyed each of their lives in different ways. Their reunion might bring the already-weakened city to its knees.
Exploring the devastating mechanisms of power, this searing climate fantasy breathes life into a crumbling world hovering on the brink of total destruction.

[I’m so thrilled to announce the exciting news that today is the official launch of my new publishing imprint, Kist Reads!\ \ \ \ Kist Reads is hosted by Bindery, which is the platform you’re on right now that houses the Sickos community. If you don’t know what an imprint is, think of it like this: Penguin Random House is a publisher and their various imprints publish certain types of books. Penguin Classics, for example, is one of their imprints. This is one of the most exciting projects I’ve undertaken as a content creator. When I first joined Bindery, launching my own imprint was a major goal, and thanks to the incredible support of our Sickos community, it’s now a reality.\ \ Along with the existing benefits, subscribers will now become part of the publishing journey! You’ll get an exclusive, behind-the-scenes look at the entire process—from manuscript to marketing, from cover design to launch. You can even get your name in the book!\ \ By subscribing, you’re not just supporting me; you’re helping to publish a book by an up-and-coming author. A healthy portion of every subscription is being set aside for the Kist Reads imprint to provide a talented author with all the resources they need to bring their book to life and make it a success.\ \ I have not chosen a book yet but that process will begin soon. If you’re an agented author with a manuscript that fits the bill, you can SUBMIT HERE ! If you’re an indie author, follow Bindery on their various social platforms and keep an eye out because they regularly host “Pitch Fests” for this purpose.\ \ Here’s what I’m looking for in our first book:\ \
- Gritty, authentic storytelling\ \
- Elements of fantasy or magical realism\ \
- Historical fiction or narratives grounded in real history\ \
- Complex characters you love to hate and hate to love\ \ \ In the meantime, if you see titles like And the Sky Bled or House of Frank in bookstores, take a closer look—those are from fellow Bindery imprints. And there are more exciting releases on the horizon, including Of Monsters and Mainframes, The Unmapping, Black Salt Queen, and Crueler Mercies.\ \ Thank you all for making this possible, I can’t wait for us to discover the first of many great books to be published by Kist Reads!](https://kistreadsbooks.binderybooks.com/item/CxYBkV56ehhSzNCiFhAJ/)

Cli-Fi (short for Climate Fiction) is a fiction subgenre that deals with climate change, either real world or fantastical. Here’s a few of my favorites!
Some I’ve read very recently (like Fable for the End of the World) and others I read years ago and they’ve really stuck with me (like The Ones We’re Meant to Find).
And the ever present reminder that the last book in this list, To Bargain With Mortals by R.A. Basu is a book I’m publishing through my imprint, @skiespress with @bindery_books. I always want to make sure to note my obvious bias when I bring it up for those who may not know I’m involved with that book. We have some big reveals coming for you VERY SOON so 👀 keep an eye out and maybe go shelve it on goodreads. Releasing this fall.

Fall & Winter Books and Comics
Hii I'll be posting some backlog here onto Bindery as I get back in the swing of things. Some of these titles have already released, some have just come out this month, and others haven't even made it to this list but are mentioned below. There are tons of amazing comics and books out there right now, I hope you add some of these to your tbr.
I'll link all the ones that have already been published, just to keep it simple!
Since making this post, I've already acquired a few for my shelf, and I have my eyes on the rest. If you're interested in grabbing any, check them out on my Bookshop.org page, linked here, or, of course, request them at your local library.
Thanks for reading <3
