You appreciate densely plotted stories where engineering and problem-solving drive the narrative forward.

Maybe not for you if...

You want clear heroes and villains to root for without moral ambiguity.
You prefer fast-paced plots that prioritise action over intricate world-building and political detail.
You're looking for a standalone novel rather than committing to a trilogy.

About this book

Civitas Vadanis faces invasion from the Mezentines, a military power known for their single-minded pursuit of their objectives. Duke Valens of Civitas Vadanis confronts a difficult choice: his city cannot survive a direct assault, and its walls offer limited protection against the invading force. Fleeing might be the only option to save his people, but escape presents its own challenges. Ziani Vaatzes, an engineer exiled by the Mezentines for his creations, has previously demonstrated an ability to defend a city. However, Vaatzes has his own priorities, and the survival of Civitas Vadanis may not be among them.
