A press release from Emma Pulitzer of Open Road Media:

The winner of numerous prestigious awards, including the Philip K. Dick Award, the Hugo Award, and the British Science Fiction Association Award, author Ian McDonald is best known for his brilliant world-building skills and the imaginative elements of magical realism in his novels such as King of Morning, Queen of Day and The Broken Land.

About The Broken Land: When an Emperor’s wrath demolishes the village of Chepsenyt, Mathembe Fileli’s life changes forever. In an empire caught in a vicious religious divide, Chepsenyt was an anomaly—believers of opposing religions, Confessors and Proclaimers, used their cunning genetic-engineering skills to create a harmonious, self-sufficient society—until two hidden rebels literally sets the village ablaze. In this newly perilous world, Mathembe must draw on her resourcefulness and inner strength to find her family and bridge the nation’s gaping rift.

Reminiscent of modern-day political conflicts, The Broken Land is a stunning futuristic tale that flawlessly weaves McDonald’s mastery of the English language with Mathembe’s captivating struggle to survive.

Other Novels: On July 2, King of Morning, Queen of Day, Sacrifice of Fools, and Scissors Cut Paper Wrap Stone will also be available as ebooks.
