Publisher Description

The Banished have made their move... Now Haltveldt answers back.

Reeling from the events at Solitude, Calene Alpenwood embarks on a journey to find meaning in all she's seen, and to discover the answers she so desperately seeks. Finding herself more alone than ever, Calene is trapped between doing what's right, and doing what needs to be done.

Meanwhile, Kade Besem continues to search for his son, Arlo, and the strange warrior-monk, Tilo. His hunt takes him deep into Banished territory and into the jaws of danger.

Not content with driving the elves from the face of the continent, Master Of War Nexes Almor sets his vicious sights on the Banished threat... But the Emperor's new weapon, the Shadow Sparkers, pushes the limits of the fragile control of his sanity as he seeks to write his name across the history books.

Revelations are uncovered, ancient secrets are revealed and those who stand in the Empire's way can't hope to win when Haltveldt walks the Path of War.

The Empire Of Ruin saga continues in this British Fantasy Award-nominated novel.

I grew up in the north west of England and in Galway, Ireland. The fact I didn't feel quite fixed in one specific place definitely comes through in my writing. A lot of my characters are outsiders searching for their place in the world and hoping to find their tribe.
