Stake your claim. Fight to survive. Speak to storms. Murder a sun. Face judgement. “Where to?” asks the Navigator…
Ten years have passed since Sunless Sea, and Queen Victoria has led an exodus from London to the heavens. There, a revitalised British Empire – ambitious and authoritarian – begins to expand across the skies. The stars are being murdered. An opportunistic Victorian Empire is colonising the domains they leave behind, painting its industrial vision upon the fabric of the heavens.
I contributed several major ports to this endearingly verbose sequel – Lustrum, The Floating Parliament, The House of Rods And Chains, Achlys, Titania, and the Well of Wonders, as well as writing the Incautious Driver, the New Street Line, The Royal Horological Society, and quite a few smaller bits and pieces scattered throughout the High Wilderness, from crazy prophets deep in the land of do-as-you-please, to the spymasters of Eagle’s Empyrean, and many of the little quips that appear during journeys.
