A City Inside (Hardcover) by Tillie Walden
Launching September 2018
At the outer edge of the solar system, on the mining planet Tisa, Flint and her
mother live in the colony of Swift Springs. Displaced by a nuclear event, Flint’s
family settled in Swift Springs two generations ago to become miners. Soon Flint
will be old enough to begin her apprenticeship at the refinery.
But is the home that her family has built for her enough, or will a mysterious,
irradiated planet pull her away from them? By following in their footsteps and
leaving to forge a new path, is she betraying her family, or honouring their legacy?
Exploring notions of home and the desire to leave it, Kristyna Baczynski’s first
graphic novel is a story of relationships, of time and of the motion of the universe.

In the city of Ismyre, something is stirring…
An aristocratic businessman reveals the latest must have: a pillar of crystals that
when placed within a home allows for the creation of beautiful illusions and more
powerful spells to be performed. At the same time, Henriett, a disgraced biological
professor now studying botany in a town far away, feels the disquiet in the air as
specimens she has studied for years begin inexplicably dying out.
On travelling to Ismyre, to warn the current Prime Minister and council of an
imbalance within the world’s ecosystem and magic, she encounters a young
magician called Niklas who is there for a very different reason. Alongside a crew of
ex-academics and inhabitants of smaller surrounding villages, Henriett and Niklas
work together to uncover the strange imbalance being created in the world.
Set years prior to B. Mure’s first graphic novella in this series Ismyre, Terrible
Means explores the motives and back story of the mysterious eco anarchist
wizards and their terroristic, floral tendencies.

A stunning new hardback edition!
Shifting between the everyday and the surreal, A City Inside recounts one
woman’s life from childhood home, to the first love that she will never forget, to the
creation of the idea of herself that she can grow old with and the home that she can grow old in.
Walden’s follow up to the lyrical I Love This Part is a poetic exploration of the
process of growing older; the journey towards finding out who you are and building a life for yourself.
It is a universal story of how we don’t just come-of-age once, but many times throughout our lives.
