'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 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.
