Description
There is no such thing as conservation of shadows. When light destroys shadows, darkness does not gain in density elsewhere. When shadows steal over earth and across the sky, darkness is not diluted . . .
In this debut collection of short fiction from one of science fiction and fantasy’s most notable new writers, Yoon Ha Lee often integrates tropes of science fiction with elements of myth to create tales that are both wonderfully fresh and deeply ancient. No matter what the theme, her wide variety of stories are strikingly original and always indelible.
With an introduction by Aliette de Bodard, author of the Obsidian and Blood trilogy.

Advance Praise
“Lee’s flavourful and original settings range from competing starfaring empires in the far future to re-imagined histories.”—Aliette de Bodard, Introduction
“Yoon Ha Lee is an exciting new author who is one of those helping to move science fiction into the twenty-first century.”—Gardner Dozois, Nebula- and Hugo-award winning author and editor
“Like the sinuous road between the twinborn dragons, Yoon Ha Lee’s fiction walks a delicate balance between opposing forces: the precision of math and the resonance of myth, the fiery glow of war and the cool reminiscence of history, the pacing and sweep of a space epic and the beauty and refinement of a lyric poem. Rich, evocative, and always undergirded by impeccable narrative logic, Lee’s stories transport us to unimagined vistas that feel at once ancient and new.”—Ken Liu, Nebula-, Hugo-, and World Fantasy Award-winning author of “The Paper Menagerie”
“Yoon Ha Lee writes with the heart of a mathematician and the precision of a poet.”—Lavie Tidhar, World Fantasy Award winning author of Osama
