A scene from Tasha Suri’s The Burning Kingdoms Trilogy. Priya and Malini meet in the imperial tent to discuss Priya’s role in the war whilst both try to restrain their feelings for each other. An exerpt from Book 2 Oleander Sword is written below:
β€œWill you do it as my ally? Ally. As if that encompassed even half of it. But Malini could not ask for this on the basis of whatever lay between them: a handful of furious kisses, a knife against a heart, a flower around a throat, a yearning that never seemed to abate. Priya looked at her and looked at her, and somehow the looking had brought them closer together.”

A futuristic cityscape being broken into pieces and floating up into the air. A variety of Trans+ people are sitting on the builds. Lines of vertical binary code line the design. Text along the top and bottom reads 'Trans in the Machine, Chronicling the New Cyberpunk Canon'

Cyberpunk and transness have always been linked.

For the first time, that connection will be explored in-depth.

This book will also showcase the amazing films, games & stories being made by Trans+ creators.

Be part of the new cyberpunk canon.

Again, Baley found himself crammed into the front seat between the two robots. He welcomed Daneel particularly, with his humanlike body warmth. Although Giskard’s textilelike outermost layer was insulating and not as cold to the touch as bare metal would have been, he was the less attractive of the two in Baley’s current chilly state.

Baley caught himself on the verge of putting an arm around Daneel’s shoulder, with the intention of finding comfort by drawing him even closer. He brought his arm down to his lap in confusion.
