Fortune's Blight

'Inventive . . . absorbing and rewarding' - Kirkus

The rebellion is over. But their trials have just begun . . .

Victory for the Shadari rebels has come at a terrible price. Hardship superstition and a murderous cabal poison King Daryan's young regime but help is nowhere to be found: the mercenary who led their rebellion has vanished their Nomas allies have troubles of their own and the Norlanders who returned home to plead - or fight - for the Shadari's independence have found themselves embroiled in the court politics of an empire about to implode.

As the foundations of the two far-flung countries begin to crack an enigmatic figure watches from a tower room in Ravindal Castle. She is old and a prisoner but her reach is long and her patience is about to be rewarded . . .
