HOWEVER

Angel is styled as The High Priestess, and she is seated in a futuristic office at night wearing a blue gown and veil. The Publisher's Marketplace Deal Report reads: "Makana Yamamoto's HAMMAJANG LUCK, an enemies-to-lovers "lesbian space heist" pitched as Ocean's 8 meets Gideon the Ninth, in which an ex-con must reunite with the partner who betrayed them for one last job to save their indebted family, to Claire Ormsby-Potter and Bethan Morgan at Gollancz, in a good deal, in a pre-empt, in a three-book deal, for publication in January 2025, by Keir Alekseii at Azantian Literary Agency (world).
