"Valley of Spiraling Winds" is a scifi novel by a Native Hawaiian writer. Published in July 2025 itʻs eligible for the Hugo Awards and the Nebula Awards. A dystopian time-hopping novel from the middle of the Pacific Ocean. https://uhpress.hawaii.edu/title/valley-of-spiraling-winds/

Not from your usual scifi publishers. Something fresh and from an indigenous perspective.
