Clarke award-winner, Adrian Tchaikovsky.</b> <p/><b>Ancient powers are waking . . .</b> <p/> The war with the Wasp Empire has ended in a bitter stalemate, and Collegium has nothing to show for it but wounded veterans. Cheerwell Maker finds herself crippled in ways no doctor can mend, haunted by ghosts of the past that she cannot appease. <p/> The Empress Seda is regaining control over those imperial cities that refused to bow the knee to her, but she draws her power from something more sinister than mere armies and war machines. <p/> Only her consort, the former spymaster Thalric, knows the truth, and now the assassins are coming and he finds his life and his loyalties under threat once again. Then out beyond the desert of the Nem, the ancient city of Khanaphes awaits them both, with a terrible secret entombed beneath its stones. <p/><b>Continue this epic fantasy adventure with <i>The Sea Watch</i>.</b></p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Tchaikovsky's fifth delving into his complex, vibrant Shadows of the Apt series takes the reader on an exhilarating journey rich with the engaging dialogue and scenery fans have come to expect.

A++." <br> -<i>Fantasy Book Critic</i> <p/> "This series is strong on character, action, epic battles, political intrigue and a fascinate world.
