DATE OF RELEASE: 12 FEB 2026

Step into the past. Rush headlong at the future. The Age of Calamities is here.

Henry VIII wants Anne Boleyn dead, but there's just one small problem - she's alive again by morning, sipping tea at the breakfast table. In the gilded hush of the Winter Palace, the Romanov sisters slip through time and waltz aboard a star-bound spaceship. A woman on the run strikes a sinister bargain with the ghost of Joan of Arc, but can she reclaim her body in time for sunrise? Fiercely inventive and darkly playful, these stories unfold on history's fault lines, where women take their revenge against ill-fated times.

With sly wit and piercing poignancy, The Age of Calamities exhumes the past to haunt the present, charting the tragicomic yet hopeful act of living.
