Earthflown

Featuring over 60 illustrations, Earthflown is a love story that tries - and fails - to leave the water crisis behind. Set in post-flood London, futuristic medicine meets magic in this bittersweet science-fiction fantasy debut. When Ethan saves the life of a firestarter, it's nothing unusual. He's the only healer on call at the hospital - and that gunshot wound isn't going to regenerate itself. But his patient turns out to be Corinna Arden, heiress to a pharmaceutical empire controlling Britain's water supply. Her twin, Javier, is a man who (a) starts sending Ethan flowers at work, (b) seems terrified of a secret, and (c) has the cheekbones and earnestness to make up for both. Ethan indulges in (what he thinks will be) a brief, harmless romance - but is swept up in a deadly collusion over Project Earthflown: the largest reconstruction tender since London clawed its way out of the rising sea. Determined to follow the money, Ollie is a journalist who finds a corpse at the end of a too-convenient tip. The fate of water - and who profits - might depend on the perennial question: has Ethan lost his mind, or is he just an idiot? PRAISE FOR EARTHFLOWN:"A mesmerizing blend of sci-fi, fantasy, and crime noir that transcends genres. Absolutely captivating." - AIDEN THOMAS, New York Times bestselling author of Cemetery Boys."This darkly thrilling novel examines both the climate crisis and the human heart with immense tenderness. Gorgeously original." - ESMIE JIKIEMI-PEARSON, inaugural Future Worlds Prize winning author of The Principle of Moments. Content warnings and further illustrations are available at earthflown.com
