In a far future where technology is all but indistinguishable from magic, Tanyana is one of the elite.

She can control pions, the building blocks of matter, shaping them into new forms using ritual gestures and techniques. The rewards are great, and she is one of most highly regarded people in the city. But that was before the "accident".

Stripped of her powers, bound inside a bizarre powersuit, she finds herself cast down to the very lowest level of society. Powerless, penniless and scarred, Tanyana must adjust to a new life collecting "debris", the stuff left behind by pions. But as she tries to find who has done all of this to her, she also starts to realize that debris is more important than anyone could guess.

Debris is a stunning new piece of Science Fantasy, which draws in themes from Japanese manga, and classic Western SF and Fantasy to create this unique, engrossing debut from the very exciting young author Jo Anderton.

"A captivating story set in a brilliantly-conceived world."
- Trudi Canavan, bestselling author of the Black Magician Trilogy

"This is what modern fantasy looks like. Debris is a strong debut novel from a promising new writer, featuring a tough, professional heroine, a clever magic system and a complex, beautifully realised city. I couldn't put it down."
- Tansy Rayner Roberts, award-winning author of The Creature Court Trilogy, and Siren Beat

"Anderton's debut builds a marvelous world, shakes it to the core with adventure and romance, then wraps the whole thing in one hell of a mystery. I can't wait for the rest."
- Ian Tregillis, author of Bitter Seeds

"Jo Anderton combines elements of steampunk with her own unique vision to create something striking. Debris is a first novel NOT to be missed."
- Marianne de Pierres, award winning author of the Parish Plessis and Sentients of Orion series.

"Debris is a fast read, and very well put together. I was immersed in its world at every stage, and fascinated by its characters. Tanyana may be too proud for her own good, but Jo Anderton has written a novel she deserves to take pride in."
- Warpcore SF

"Debris itself deals with losing everything one has, and Anderton isn't afraid to put Tanyana out of her comfort zones every now and again... The author takes a perhaps unique approach to magic in this novel, and combines science-fiction with fantasy pretty well. The magic system is well thought out."
- The Founding Fields

"The Veiled Worlds story is something that's pretty unique out there at the moment, the world building is spectacular with a concept that's amazingly simple yet wonderfully constructed and when added to some decent characterisation it's a title that really does make you think as well as give you something ideal. Add to this an author who really believes in giving their all and this debut is pretty impressive. Angry Robot is a name that's fast becoming one of the publishers to redraw the lines on quality, authors and of course stories that will have readers demanding more. Great work."
