SenLinYu in Conversation With Avendell

Post-event, SenLinYu will sign special volume-specific bookplates for each attendee and pose for photos with fans.

The stunning three-volume boxed set includes an illustrated slipcase with brand new art, three unjacketed hardcovers with foil stamps, metallic silver edges, bookmark ribbons, full-color illustrated endpaper maps, and 24 black-and-white interior illustrations by acclaimed artist Avendell.

In SenLinYu’s riveting dark fantasy debut, Alchemised (Del Rey), a woman with missing memories fights to survive a war-torn world of necromancy and alchemy — and the man tasked with unearthing the deepest secrets of her past. Once a promising alchemist, Helena Marino is now a prisoner — of war and of her own mind. Her Resistance friends and allies have been brutally murdered, her abilities suppressed, and the world she knew destroyed. In the aftermath of a long war, Paladia’s new ruling class of corrupt guild families and depraved necromancers, whose vile undead creatures helped bring about their victory, holds Helena captive. According to Resistance records, she was a healer of little importance within their ranks. But Helena has inexplicable memory loss of the months leading up to her capture, making her enemies wonder: Is she truly as insignificant as she appears, or are her lost memories hiding some vital piece of the Resistance’s final gambit? To uncover the memories buried deep within her mind, Helena is sent to the High Reeve, one of the most powerful and ruthless necromancers in this new world. Trapped on his crumbling estate, Helena’s fight — to protect her lost history and to preserve the last remaining shreds of her former self — is just beginning. For her prison and captor have secrets of their own… secrets Helena must unearth, whatever the cost. SenLinYu will be joined in conversation by acclaimed artist Avendell.
