About The Book
Sascha Stronach’s queer, Maori-inspired Endsong trilogy reopens on a city in flames, where a magic-wielding pirate crew uncovers an age-old fight between the gods that threatens their world.
The steel city of Radovan is consumed by fire between. Stranded in its harbor is the crew of the Kopek, the survivors of a bioterror attack overseas. But they bear scars: their captain, Sibbi, has gone missing; Yat, their newest Weaver, is fighting for control of her own mind; and their Weaving powers are in a badly weakened state.
To disable the technology that prevents the group from escaping, Sen and Kiada must plot their way through the ruins of the foreign capital, which is patrolled by a hostile militia, using wits alone. But to navigate through Radovan, Kiada will have to rely on her own history with the city—one she shares with a band of misfits dubbed Fort Tomorrow and their leader, Ari, a charismatic thief.
Ari may hold the key not only to saving Radovan from complete annihilation, but the history of their world, which will come into play as the gods begin to unleash destruction on humanity and one another.

Raves and Reviews
"A feverish cosmic knot—the strangest damn thing I've read in years. Bear on with the weirdness as the boundaries between characters, worlds, and gods burn away. Sooty, sharp, elusive, and absolutely compelling."
– —Seth Dickinson, author of The Traitor Baru Cormorant
"A wonderful queer noir fever dream." —Tamsyn Muir, internationally bestselling author of Gideon the Ninth
"Fiercely queer. A strange and wondrous re-imagining of noir that takes its cues from biopunk and SE Asian mythos to create something wholly different. There's real imagination at work here—I loved it." —Rebecca Roanhorse, New York Times bestselling author of Trail of Lightning and Black Sun
“Worldbuilding at its peak. The Dawnhounds heaves with life, a tangible sense of cosmic power simmering from the waters around this port city and from the people trying to save it. Just don’t call them heroes, aye.” —Chloe Gong, New York Times bestselling author of These Violent Delights and Our Violent Ends
“The Dawnhounds roots in the mind like a night garden, vital and voracious. I can’t get it out of my head.” —Amal El-Mohtar, award-winning coauthor of This Is How You Lose the Time War
"The Dawnhounds packs hard-hitting, mind-bending weirdness into a story that’s still touching and human. If you’re looking for gritty queer spec fic that isn’t unrelentingly grim, you’ve found it.” —Casey Lucas, award-winning author of Into the Mire
“The tones of Stronach and Pratchett are enormously similar. . . .Delightful.” —Octavia Cade, author of The Mythology of Salt and Other Stories
