'So romantic I may simply perish' Tasha Suri, award-winning author of THE JASMINE THRONE

'LESBIAN SPACE PIRATES. Enough said' Katee Robert, NYT bestselling author of NEON GODS

Xich Si: bot maker, data analyst, mother, scavenger. But those days are over now-her ship has just been captured by the Red Banner pirate fleet, famous for their double-dealing and cruelty. Xich Si expects to be tortured to death-only for the pirates' enigmatic leader, Rice Fish, to arrive with a different and shocking proposition: an arranged marriage between Xich Si and herself.

Rice Fish: sentient ship, leader of the infamous Red Banner pirate fleet, wife of the Red Scholar. Or at least, she was the latter before her wife died under suspicious circumstances. Now isolated and alone, Rice Fish wants Xich Si's help to find out who struck against them and why. Marrying Xich Si means Rice Fish can offer Xich Si protection, in exchange for Xich Si's technical fluency: a business arrangement with nothing more to it.

But as the investigation goes on, Rice Fish and Xich Si find themselves falling for each other. As the interstellar war against piracy intensifies and the five fleets start fighting each other, they will have to make a stand-and to decide what kind of future they have together...

An exciting space opera and a beautiful romance, from an exceptional SF author.

'Space battles! Arranged marriage! Politics and pirates! Aliette de Bodard has a knack for concocting the most glittery and delicious candy-shell of space opera, and then filling it with a bittersweet romance between two fractured people trying to hold on to their ideals. Every new book of hers instantly becomes my favourite book of hers, and this was no exception' Freya Marske, author of international bestseller A MARVELLOUS LIGHT

'An epic tale of piracy and romance in the void of space. A new book from Aliette de Bodard is always a treasure' Gareth L. Powell, BSFA Award Winning Author

'Confident, sexy, and touching - THE RED SCHOLAR'S WAKE gives a whole new meaning to the phrase "star-crossed lovers"!' Max Gladstone, Hugo and Nebula Award Winning Author

'The Red Scholar's Wake is a fizzingly inventive space opera, quite unlike anything I've encountered before, and told with style, grace, and a big dose of heart. SF is lucky to have Aliette de Bodard' - Alastair Reynolds, author of REVELATION SPACE and EVERSION

'A gripping science fiction adventure, full of cool science-fictional ideas, plot twists, and high stakes... Most importantly, this story has heart, with characters you really care about' Laura J Mixon, author of Up Against It and the Avatars Dance trilogy
