The release date for the English version of 'Sword & Citadel' by Gene Wolfe is Oct 1994. If you enjoy this novel, it is available for buy as a paperback from Barnes & Noble or Indigo, as an ebook on the Amazon Kindle store, or as an audiobook on Audible.

As "a masterpiece of science fantasy comparable in importance to the major works of Tolkien and Lewis" by Publishers Weekly and "one of the most ambitious works of speculative fiction in the twentieth century" by The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction, The Book of the New Sun is universally acknowledged as Gene Wolfe's most outstanding work. Sword & Citadel is a single collection that collects the last two works in the tetralogy:

The third book of Wolfe's amazing epic, The Sword of the Lictor, tells the story of the journey of Severian, a traveling pilgrim who is drawn by a dark and mysterious destiny and embarks on a perilous mission far from home.

The Book of the New Sun comes to a terrifying end in The Citadel of the Autarch, as Severian faces off against the terrifying Autarch in a last-minute battle that will change Urth forever.
