Avi Silver

Sixteen-year-old Sohmeng Par is sick of being treated like a child. When a failed coming-of-age ritual gets her thrown off the mountains and into the jungle below, she must learn to live in the deadly rainforest alongside a pack of reptilian predators and the strange human who rides with them.

Two Dark Moons

Sohmeng Minhal is going to save the rainforest. With the help of her lizard-riding partner, she must return a lost prince to the empire that threatens her community's way of life, while reckoning with the losses that have shaped her in turn.

Three Seeking Stars

“Wait—rewind. I was still a girl back then, before the universes converged.”

Guided by premonitions and a fateful car ride, a burned-out retail worker stumbles into the grand exit from womanhood. Meanwhile, in a galaxy not so far away, an alien prince goes rogue with his sentient spaceship, seeking purpose in the great glimmering void. As the two of them come together in a fusion of body and mind, they must reckon with their assigned identities.

Tender, witty, and daring, Pluralities is a slipstream-meets-space-adventure story honoring the long and turbulent journey into gender euphoria.

“A tender exploration of gender and body that revels in its own strangeness. Avi Silver never shies away from the awkward, horny, or complicated aspects of nonbinary identity. This is the 401-level nonbinary speculative fiction I’ve been waiting for.” — Nino Cipri, author of Finna

“Pluralities offers two subtly converging stories of a young person quitting a dismal retail job in a reality slightly at an angle from ours, and a space-opera prince on the run with his sentient spaceship friend. This novella truly pushes the envelope of gender exploration in fiction. It does not shy away from tackling the uneasy, messy, but also potentially liberating aspects of sex, T4T relationships, Jewish feminism, and resigning from your job on the spot even if it means having to walk off half-naked. My ideal world would be full of books like this one. Sadly we’re not living there, but you can get and read this particular story in the meanwhile!” — Bogi Takács, Hugo and Lambda award winning author and editor
