The sequel to the most important debut fantasy of the last ten years
Another year in mankind's war for survival against the insects. God is still on holiday, the Emperor still leads and his cadre of immortals are still quarrelling amongst themselves.
It is known that the insects are reaching the Fourlands from the Shift but now mankind just has to do something about it. And in the meantime attention shifts to new lands and a naval expedition is launched.
And Jant, the Emperor's drug-addicted winged messenger is expected to join it. Just perfect for a man terrified of ships and sea.
Steph Swainston's trilogy is building to be a landmark of modern fantasy. This is a wildly imaginative, witty, yet profound fantasy, peopled with bizarre yet real characters.
