Synopsis

The world is on the brink of war.

Fisk and Shoe - mercenaries, very much not wanting to get caught in the middle of a political whirlwind - must deliver a very important message, and find a very dangerous man. They have caught the eye of the powerful men of the world, and now the stakes are higher than they like.

And the Emperor has decreed that Livia Cornelius, pregnant with Fisk's child, must travel to the far lands of the Autumn Lords on a diplomatic mission. It will mean crossing half the world, and facing new dangers. And in the end, she will uncover the shocking truth at the heart of the Autumn Lords' Empire.

A truth which will make the petty politics of war and peace unimportant, and will change the world.

Goodreads review by Stephen on July 28, 2018

This is one of the most original fantasy / SF books I've ever read. It's a creative mix of a lot of different ideas and unlike other books where the combination doesn't work, in this series it all clicks together perfectly. The second book in the trilogy, it is an exciting fantasy western with demon-......more

Goodreads review by Ant on December 18, 2017

The author mixes genres in the most bizarre ways that when I describe them to friends it even I (having read them) can't believe it would actually work.

But this time we also have - letters. :) I don’t know if this is the new trand (reading the reviews of other writers I follow it seems it is), but I can’t get into it. I can, however, te......more
