Revolution in the Heart is a collection of 15 brand new stories by a group of celebrated authors, all inspired by one of the iconic figures in all of science fiction and fantasy: the legendary and award-winning Ursula K. Le Guin.

From the appearance of her first work of short fiction in 1962 to the publication of the last in 2016, Ursula K. Le Guin was a master storyteller, winning innumerable awards, and achieving both commercial and literary success. She created the beloved stories of Earthsea alongside the urgent and essential stories of the Hain, pushing forward the form and concepts of science fiction and fantasy - reshaping them into forward-thinking genres.

This collection honours her legacy with stories from authors she inspired:

Ann Leckie
Molly Gloss
Kelly Link
Charlie Jane Anders
Sarah Pinsker
Chana Porter
Ai Jiang
Alaya Dawn Johnson
S. Qiouyi Lu
E. Lily Yu
Vandana Singh
Aliya Whiteley
Premee Mohamed

Praise for Jonathan Strahan:
"Breath-taking, staggering, sublime."
Tor.com

"A stand-out collection that should be of interest to any admirer of short fiction, regardless of genre."
The Guardian

"Jonathan Strahan's Infinity books stand with the very best original anthology series ever in the field."
Locus


Praise for The Book of Dragons, edited by Jonathan Strahan:
“A heaping hoard of literary gems that fans of dragon-powered stories will surely treasure”
Kirkus


“THE BOOK OF DRAGONS seems almost certain to be the most significant fantasy anthology of 2020”
Locus


“There is not a single false note among these 29 stories and poems of dragons collected by Strahan ... With myriad approaches to its subject, this wide-ranging anthology is a treasure trove of wonder” Publishers Weekly


“A colourful assortment of dragons reimagined... Something for everyone and a reader will likely come away hungry for more”
Straits Times
