Citadel is a new adult science fiction novel set on an alien planet, which only has one human city: Citadel. Every day is a fight for survival, and for the last four centuries they've been at war with the simple-minded beasts they believe are demons. Until Olivia, a young nonverbal autistic woman, realizes that they're not beasts, nor sent from Hell, but sentient people, and thus goes on an ill-advised solo mission into their Flooded Forest to get answers.

C. M. Alongi is a sci-fi/fantasy author from the Twin Cities, Minnesota. She runs the urban fantasy TikTok series CaFae Latte, writes the ongoing Blackwing fantasy novella series, and just published her first full-length novel Citadel. The sword is fake, but useful for defending her furniture from her roommates' evil cats.
