Book cover art for "A Desolation Called Peace". Illustration of a figure looking out of a large geometrically paneled window, where a large saturn-like object floats in a dazzling burst of light and red smoke. Text reads "A Desolation Called Peace — Arkady Martine" "A mesmerizing debut... it left me utterly dazzled." — The New York Times Book Review on A Memory Called Empire.
