The Principle of Moments
The Principle of Moments
Winner of the inaugural Future Worlds Prize for SFF writers of colour, this is science fiction like you've never seen it before...
‘My favourite kind of grand space opera’ BEN AARONOVITCH
She's searching for the emperor who stole her sister.
He's searching for the prince who stole his heart.
The entire universe is at stake.
The Principle of Moments is a centuries-spanning adventure unmissable for fans of the spacefaring found family of Becky Chambers, the magical London of V. E. Schwab, and the epic climate-craft of N. K. Jemisin.
