I was lucky enough to get a sneak peek at this one and now a lovely finished copy of An Empire in the Clouds by @aijiang.bsky.social just showed up at my door! It's a gorgeous story about the power of art to change the world.

The image shows a hand holding a hardcover copy of An Empire in the Clouds by Ai Jiang. The cover art depicts a red and black pagoda surrounded by water and plant life in the bottom left corner and another red and black pagoda in the upper right corner surrounded by red and black flowers and leaves.
