Following the success of Seanan McGuire’s multi-award-winning Middlegame and its companion novel, Seasonal Fears, the Tor Publishing Group is delighted to announce the acquisition of three more books to continue and complete the Alchemical Journeys series.
The books follow a succession of humans raised to positions of power over natural forces, and their conflicts against the iniquitous and commanding alchemists, who seek to usurp these powers for their own ends.
The first of these new novels is Tidal Creatures.
Every night, a Moon shines down on the Impossible City…
All across the world, people look up at the moon and dream of gods. Gods of knowledge and wisdom, gods of tides and longevity. Over time, some of these moon gods incarnated into the human world alongside the other manifest natural concepts. Their job is to cross the sky above the Impossible City—the heart of all creation—to keep it connected to reality.
And someone is killing them.
There are so many of them that it’s easy for a few disappearances to slip through the cracks. But they aren’t limitless.
In the name of the moon, the lunar divinities must uncover the roots of the plot and thwart the true goal of those behind these attacks—control of the Impossible City itself.

Tidal Creatures
Seanan McGuire is the author of the Hugo, Nebula, Alex and Locus Award-winning Wayward Children series, the October Daye series, the InCryptid series, and other works. She also writes darker fiction as Mira Grant. Seanan lives in Seattle with her cats, a vast collection of creepy dolls, horror movies, and sufficient books to qualify her as a fire hazard. She won the 2010 John W. Campbell Award for Best New Writer, and in 2013 became the first person to appear five times on the same Hugo ballot. In 2022 she managed the same feat, again!
The deal for World English rights was brokered between Tor Publishing Group’s Executive Editor Lee Harris and agent Diana Fox of Fox Literary.
Tidal Creatures will be published in June 2024, with Inkpot Gods and Asphodel following in 2026 and 2028.
