Transmentation | Transgression: Or, a Spark on the Eve of the Five Hundred Year Burn

"From bestselling authors Darkly Lem comes the next explosive installment in their gripping, genre-defying Formation Saga. A shocking death. A dangerous alliance. The worlds’ order on the verge of collapse. After a fall from grace, intelligence officer Malculm Bysotič avoids further punishment when he is assigned to a bold and controversial new initiative: the forced eviction of all foreign travelers from the localities of Burel Hird. Hailed as a stabilizing effort, the program instead demands ever more frequent acts of bureaucratic cruelty. As the margins between just and unjust action continue to blur, Malculm is forced to question the motives and goals of the society he serves. At home, newly acceded councilor Priema Dhalgrim is executing her vision of prosperity through control, using whatever means necessary to expand Burel Hird’s territory across the Many Worlds. But the foreign travelers won’t leave quietly. Meanwhile, Of Tala mercenaries Beinir and Shara find themselves contracted to opposite sides of the conflict between societies. As overreach ignites conflict, and tensions within Burel Hird blaze, Withered Stem agent Paër and his team of operatives must decide if they should compromise the ethics of their society in order to save it. When every decision could unravel the health and stability of entire universes, where is the line drawn? Packed with razor-sharp politics, relentless tension, and unforgettable characters, Transmentation | Transgression cements Darkly Lem as masters of the multiversal epic."

Many Worlds: Or, the Simulacra

"Many Worlds, or The Simulacra is an anthology of reality-bending stories from a one-of-a-kind collective of authors building a shared multiverse. The stories in this anthology range from quietly strange to ambitiously speculative. Humans transform into cosmic energy or sentient algae. A man wakes up in a new body in a world with continents cut out, months absent from the calendar year, and souls misplaced. Students at a high school regularly vanish without a trace. A woman descends into the depths of the ocean and encounters all-knowing creatures who may have the answers to her deepest questions. Mech-suits and parallel selves, conspiracy forums and interstellar telepaths, and a mysterious cosmic force connecting it all; the stories in this collection are revelatory and offer a breathtaking portal into worlds far more mysterious than our own. Subversive, transgressive, and utterly original, this collection compels the reader to believe in the fantastical. Many Worlds features stories by Rebekah Bergman, M. Darusha Wehm, Craig Lincoln, alongside other fascinating voices in speculative fiction. This collection is edited by Cadwell Turnbull, author of The Lesson and No Gods, No Monsters, and Josh Eure, winner of Sundress Publications’ Best of the Net Award,"
