Back Through the Flaming Door
Liz Williams
POLESTARS 7
A series of single author collections by outstanding writers. The Polestar, or North Star, is defined as the brightest star in Ursa Minor; since every author chosen for this series is a star in their own right, Polestars provides the ideal banner under which to unite such exceptional works.
A new Fallow Sisters story (featuring Bee)
A new Inspector Chen story set in Singapore Three
A new tale set on the Matriarchal Mars of Winterstrike and Phosphorus
A new story from the world of The Ghost Sister and Bloodmind
All this and so much more in Liz Williams’ stunning new collection. A mix of brand new stories and those only available previously in digital format via subscription comprise the majority of the book, with very few stories available elsewhere. Thirty-two stories that enchant, dazzle, and blur genre boundaries; thirty-two stories that take the reader from realms of wonder and magic to worlds of intrigue and danger.
Take a deep breath, and leap in…
