À propos de cet audio
Gideon the Ninth meets Black Sun in this queer, Māori-inspired debut fantasy about a police officer who is murdered, brought back to life with a mysterious new power, and tasked with protecting her city from an insidious evil threatening to destroy it.
The port city of Hainak is alive: its buildings, its fashion, even its weapons. But, after a devastating war and a sweeping biotech revolution, all its inhabitants want is peace, no one more so than Yat Jyn-Hok, a reformed-thief-turned-cop who patrols the streets at night.
Yat has recently been demoted on the force due to “lifestyle choices” after being caught at a gay club. She’s barely holding it together, haunted by memories of a lover who vanished and voices that float in and out of her head like radio signals. When she stumbles across a dead body on her patrol, two fellow officers gruesomely murder her and dump her into the harbor. Unfortunately for them, she wakes up.
Resurrected by an ancient power, she finds herself with the new ability to manipulate life force. Quickly falling in with the pirate crew that has found her, she must race against time to stop a plague from being unleashed by the evil that has taken root in Hainak.

The world is rich and complicated, the affairs of its gods are mysterious, the knotted tangle of another world's history shapes the story but greatly exceeds the narrative of the first book's bounds. Much of what happens is set up for future books in Endsong. Re-reading The Dawnhounds after reading The Sunforge allowed me to better put together the pieces of what is happening in the world and with the gods.
The Dawnhounds is unapologetically queer from beginning to end. It is also unapologetically political. Don't let the cop protagonist fool you, this book is not copaganda. This is a story of queer rebellion and queer love and the necessity of these things in resistance against the state, the police, the military, and the rising tide of fascism.
Stronach's brilliant imagination makes her a fantasy author to pay attention to. Do yourself a favour. Read this book. Read the next one, which is even better. The Endsong series has all the makings of a groundbreaking work of imaginative fantasy; dark, political, and deeply, foundationally queer.
Groundbreaking, rebellious biopunk epic
