We have a strict no-AI policy here at Southscript We have a strict no-AI policy here at Southscript Press.

The book and publishing landscape has changed a lot since we published our first novel in 2022. With number two now imminent, we thought it important to be clear about our stance on the matter of generative artificial intelligence.

We do not support the use of genAI in any way, shape, or form, particularly in creative spaces. Our concerns centre around:

 ๐Ÿšซ LLMs trained on intellectual property without the permission of or fair compensation for copyright holders

๐Ÿšซ Framing of art as a product to consume rather than something that nourishes the spirit and brings people together

๐Ÿšซ Environmental impacts and electricity and water consumption orders of magnitude higher than what we've seen before for other technologies

Our books are written, edited, designed, and produced without genAI and we only work with cover designers, artists and other creatives who have a no-AI policy. ๐Ÿ’œ
It is just under SIX WEEKS until our next book wil It is just under SIX WEEKS until our next book will be out in the world!

"Blood of Old" is the first book in the #GracebornSeries by @rebeccaalasdair, which is about a pair of brothers whose foolish choices unleash an ancient power that breaks the sun and sends the Ten Dominions spiralling into chaos.

You can preorder the book now!

The Hallowed Land, they called it. A bastion of light that stood throughout the Age of Discord, where none went hungry and peace was a promise to all. But when the Hallowed Land fell, that 
promise was shattered. The earth itself became tainted. No one has set foot within its borders in over a thousand years. Until now.

Healerโ€™s apprentice Asa Oโ€™Dair would follow his adopted brother Kael anywhere. Even on a reckless jaunt into the Tainted Land. There, Asa spills blood on its once-hallowed soil, unleashing 
a cataclysmic force that corrupts the sun and awakens a terrifying power inside him. One others would kill to control. Or die to defend.

Whisked away from their quiet life by the Graceborn, who can wield the worldโ€™s latent energy, the brothers find themselves tangled in a plot to destabilise the Ten Dominions. Graceborn are going missing. Civil war brews in the north. And in the shadows, an enemy thought vanquished
watches, because Asaโ€™s powerโ€”and Kaelโ€™s mysterious lineageโ€”is the sign their time has come.
