Metal From Heaven
Autor august clarkeen Limba Engleză Paperback – 23 oct 2025
A malleable metal more durable than steel, ichorite is a toxic natural resource fueling national growth, and ambitious industrialist Yann Chauncey helms production of this miraculous ore. Working his foundry is an underclass of destitute workers, struggling to get better wages and proper medical treatment for those exposed to ichorite’s debilitating effects since birth.
One of those luster-touched victims, the child worker Marney Honeycutt, is picketing with her family and best friend when a bloody tragedy unfolds. Chauncey’s strikebreakers open fire.
Only Marney survives.
A decade later, as Yann Chauncey searches for a suitable political marriage for his ward, Marney sees the perfect opportunity for revenge. With the help of radical bandits and their stolen wealth, she must masquerade as an aristocrat to win over the calculating Gossamer Chauncey and kill the man who slaughtered her family and friends. But she is not the only suitor after Lady Gossamer’s hand, leading her to play twisted elitist games of intrigue. And Marney’s luster-touched connection to the mysterious resource and its foundry might put her in grave danger – or save her from it.

Recenzii
“Metal from Heaven is a work of feral and furious imagination. It’s pulpy, bloody, sexy, gleefully seditious and seditiously gleeful. It’s a battle cry of a book; read it, and rise up.” —Alix E. Harrow, Hugo Award winner and New York Times bestselling author of Reese’s Book Club Pick Starling House
“YA author Clarke (the Scapegracers trilogy, written as H.A. Clarke) makes their adult debut with a slick and sexy queer fantasy western . . . Clarke delivers a masterful and tragic exploration of the intersections of violence, faith, sexuality, and power, perfect for readers of challenging political fantasy. Lyrical prose, meticulous worldbuilding, and steamy lesbian sex scenes make this a surefire hit.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review
“Metal from Heaven is a razor blade of a story. I just hope you’re brave enough to handle it.” —Reactor’s “30 More SFF Titles to Look Forward to in 2024”
“August Clarke is one of the most electrifying voices in genre fiction today. In Metal from Heaven, the volume is turned all the way up. This one will blow your hair back.” —Sarah Gailey, Hugo Award winner and bestselling author of The Echo Wife
“Transgressive, and revelatory, Metal from Heaven is a thunderous, visceral, Sapphic fever dream of a book, thick with religion, myth, and revolutionary ideologies. The prose seduces, the worldbuilding astounds, and the heart bleeds pure. This one goes on my best of 2024 lists for sure.” —Rebecca Roanhorse, New York Times bestselling nominated author of Black Sun
“The most fun I’ve had in ages — until it utterly wrecked me.” —The Washington Post
