Engines of war
by R. S. Ford
"War has come to Torwyn. Sanctan Egelrath has an iron grip on the realm. With his enemies scattered to the wind, all that's left is to resurrect an ancient dragon and prove himself a god. Rosomon Hawkspur's friends are few and her victories on the battlefield fewer, but she will not be told that she is defeated. Until the moment she stops drawing breath, she will fight for the Guilds and her family. The heirs to the Hawkspur name, Conall, Fulren, and Tyreta are ready to fight alongside her. But they are much changed, and their path to victory is not at all the same as their mother's. And all the while, unlikely allies wait in the wings. Old enemies offer a dark bargain. The Hawkspurs must decide: is winning the war worth the ruinous cost demanded?"

Volatile memory
by Seth Haddon
"This is How You Lose the Time War meets Ex Machina: Seth Haddon's science fiction debut, Volatile Memory, is a sapphic sci-fi action adventure novella. With nothing but a limping ship and an outdated mask to her name, Wylla needs a big pay day. When thealert goes out that a lucrative piece of tech lies hidden on a nearby planet, she calls on all the swiftness of her prey-animal instincts to beat other hunters to it. What you found wasn't your ticket out-it was my corpse wearing an AI mask. When you touched the mask, you heard my voice. A consciousness spinning through metal and circuits, a bodiless mind, spun to life in the HAWK's temporary storage. I crystallized and realized: I was alive. Masks aren't supposed to retain memory, much less identity, but the woman inside the MARK I HAWK is real, and she sees Wylla in a way no one ever has. Sees her, and doesn't find her wanting or unwhole. Armed with military-grade tech and a lifetime of staying one step ahead of the hunters, Wylla and HAWK set off to get answers from the man who discarded HAWK once before: her ex-husband"-- Provided by publisher
