Jim Butcher, the #1 New York Times
bestselling author of the Dresden Files and the Codex Alera
novels, conjures up a new series set in a fantastic world of
noble families, steam-powered technology, and magic-wielding
warriors.… Since time immemorial, the Spires
have sheltered humanity. Within their halls, the ruling
aristocratic houses develop scientific marvels, foster trade
alliances, and maintain fleets of airships to keep the
peace. Captain Grimm commands the merchant ship
Predator. Loyal to Spire Albion, he has taken their
side in the cold war with Spire Aurora, disrupting the
enemy’s shipping lines by attacking their cargo
vessels. But when the Predator is damaged in
combat, Grimm joins a team of Albion agents on a vital
mission in exchange for fully restoring his ship. And as
Grimm undertakes this task, he learns that the conflict
between the Spires is merely a premonition of things to
come. Humanity’s ancient enemy, silent for more than
ten thousand years, has begun to stir once more. And death
will follow in its wake. . . .
