*2026 LOCUS FINALIST FOR BEST SCIENCE FICTION NOVEL*
*SHORTLISTED FOR THE HUGO AWARD FOR BEST SERIES*

City-by-city, kingdom-by-kingdom, the Palleseen have sworn to bring 'Perfection' and 'Correctness' to an imperfect world. But before these ruthless Tyrant Philosophers send in their legions, they despatch Outreach - the rain before the storm.

Outreach is that part of the Pal machine responsible for diplomacy - converting enemies into friends, achieving through words what an army of five thousand could not, urging the oppressed to overthrow the bloody-handed priests, evil necromancers and greedy despots that subjugate them.

Angilly, twelve-years-old, a child of Pal soldiers stationed in occupied Jarokir, does not know it yet, but a sequence of accidents and questionable life choices will lead her to Outreach. As she travels from Jarrokir to Bracinta, Cazarkand, Lemas, The Holy Regalate of Stouk and finally, Usmai, she'll learn that the price of her nation's success is paid in compromise and lost chances, and that the falling rain will always be bitter.

THE TYRANT PHILOSOPHERS
A world steeped in magic of all flavours: divination, demonology, necromancy, alchemy, gods, monsters, portals to other dimensions and worlds - and what happens when it collides with an implacable foe - the Tyrant Philosophers - determined to bring reason, logic and 'perfection' to the exuberant magical chaos.

Total comfort and modern design
If you are looking for a chair that really takes care of your back, the Spring Breeze Series is an excellent choice. The lumbar support and the 3D headrest make the difference during long work or study hours. It is very fresh thanks to its breathable material, it feels robust and the executive design gives an elegant touch to any space.

Great chair keeps you feeling cool!
I love the mesh areas - it keeps you feeling cool. I love the high back and neck area (it’s adjustable) the seat tilts back and allows you to relax (for me it’s a good back stretch ) I recommend this chair for any office use!

Sturdy and Comfortable
I’m really impressed with this ergonomic office chair. Assembly was incredibly easy I had it put together much faster than I expected, and everything fit together perfectly without any frustration. The teal green color is beautiful and one of my absolute favorites; it adds such a nice pop to my workspace. As a heavier person, I’m always cautious about weight capacity, but this chair feels genuinely solid and supportive. No wobbling, no sinking just sturdy, reliable construction. The seat cushion is comfortable for long hours at the computer, and the back support has made a noticeable difference in reducing my back pain. I also appreciate how easy it is to clean. A quick wipe keeps it looking fresh, and the material doesn’t trap dust or pet hair. The wheels glide smoothly, making it easy to roll and turn without any effort. For the price, the quality and value are fantastic. This chair has definitely made my workdays more comfortable. I highly recommend it especially for anyone who’s heavier and hesitant about sturdiness.

Great chair — comfortable, sturdy, and surprisingly easy to assemble
The first thing that impressed me was how steady and solid it feels. It’s not wobbly or flimsy at all, and the base and wheels roll smoothly without feeling cheap. Once assembled, it feels like a chair that will last. Assembly was also easier than expected. The instructions were straightforward, and all the parts lined up well. My 12-year-old son helped assemble it and was able to do most of it himself with some effort. Comfort-wise, it’s excellent for everyday use. The mesh back is breathable, the seat feels supportive, and the tilt adjustment (90–125°) is a nice bonus when I want to lean back and relax. The 3D armrests are also a great touch and help with positioning for desk work. Overall Nice chair
