Two of Aliette de Bodard‘s critically-acclaimed novellas are now available in new audiobook editions, published by Tantor!

At the top is the cover for IN THE VANISHERS’ PALACE, Aliette’s latest book. Here’s the synopsis for the audiobook, narrated by Nancy Wu…

In a ruined, devastated world, where the earth is poisoned and beings of nightmares roam the land…

A woman, betrayed, terrified, sold into indenture to pay her village’s debts and struggling to survive in a spirit world. 

A dragon, among the last of her kind, cold and aloof but desperately trying to make a difference. 

When failed scholar Yên is sold to Vu Côn, one of the last dragons walking the earth, she expects to be tortured or killed for Vu Côn’s amusement. 

But Vu Côn, it turns out, has a use for Yên: she needs a scholar to tutor her two unruly children. She takes Yên back to her home, a vast, vertiginous palace-prison where every door can lead to death. Vu Côn seems stern and unbending, but as the days pass Yên comes to see her kinder and caring side. She finds herself dangerously attracted to the dragon who is her master and jailer. In the end, Yên will have to decide where her own happiness lies — and whether it will survive the revelation of Vu Côn’s dark, unspeakable secrets…

Next up, we have ON A RED STATION, DRIFTING, a novella set in the author’s Hugo Award-nominated Xuya Universe. The audiobook is narrated by Emily Woo Zeller. Here’s the synopsis…

For generations, Prosper Station has thrived under the guidance of its Honoured Ancestress: born of a human womb, the station’s artificial intelligence has offered guidance and protection to its human relatives.

But war has come to the Dai Viet Empire. Prosper’s brightest minds have been called away to defend the emperor; and a flood of disorientated refugees strain the station’s resources. As deprivations cause the station’s ordinary life to unravel, uncovering old grudges and tearing apart the decimated family, Station Mistress Quyen and the Honoured Ancestress struggle to keep their relatives united and safe.

What Quyen does not know is that the Honoured Ancestress herself is faltering, her mind eaten away by a disease that seems to have no cure; and that the future of the station itself might hang in the balance…

IN THE VANISHERS’ PALACE is also available as an eBook, published by JABberwocky; ON A RED STATION, DRIFTING is also available as an eBook, published by the author, from all major eBook retailers.
