I am excited to share the covers for the rerelease of the Dominion of the Fallen trilogy by Aliette de Bodard: The House of Shattered Wings, The House of Binding Thorns, and The House of Sundering Flames. These new editions, which have cover art by Tara O’Shea, will be coming out on March 10, 2026.

I’m delighted that these are being republished, particularly since The House of Binding Thorns was one of my favorite books of 2017 (which is probably the best year of books ever for me!). It earned my awards for Best Atmosphere and Best Dragons of the Year, and I wrote the following about it:

The House of Binding Thorns is an incredibly atmospheric work of mythic art with gorgeously written descriptions of its alternate version of Paris lying in ruins, and Aliette de Bodard particularly excelled at capturing the wonder and decay of the dragon kingdom beneath the Seine. It’s both thoughtful and different (in a very good way!) as it follows the struggle for survival in this devastated city populated by fallen angels and other powerful individuals. In particular, I enjoyed exploring the dragon kingdom and reading about Thuan, a dragon posing as a teenager in order to investigate House Hawthorn’s potential involvement in the affairs of his kingdom. (I liked the dragons. A lot.)
