The influence of the British Empire is everywhere, from the very existence of the United Kingdom to the ethnic composition of our cities. It affects everything, from Prime Ministers` decisions to send troops to war to the adventurers we admire.

First volume in a dramatic and colourful new fantasy series, ‘Shadows of the Apt’, about the fight for survival against a menacingly regimented empire. Seventeen years ago Stenwold witnessed the Wasp Empire storming the city of Myna in a brutal war of conquest.
