Empire of Unreason
When Sir Isaac Newton uncovered the secrets of alchemy, he could never
have imagined the incredible and tragic results. Dark sorcery rules:
Europe is lost and the American colonists have been driven south by
advancing ice. In an age of unreason, Benjamin Franklin and his secret
society, the Junto, manage a precarious existence founded on the mutual
trust and cooperation of Native Americans, whites, and freed blacks.
But the demonic creatures known as the Malekim won't tolerate even a
flicker of hope. For any who oppose them – Franklin, Voltaire, even the
mysterious daughters of Lilith – will be swept away...
Though
Tsar Peter the Great of Russia has mysteriously vanished, his vast
armies and dark magics remain. They strike where they are least
expected, unleashing cyclopean forces unseen on Earth since before the
fall of mighty Babylon. And even this is but a prelude to he who
follows the living storm.
As armies and alchemy clash in the
southern colonies, the Choctaw shaman Red Shoes is drawn west by a
vision of an ancient, implacable evil, and of a young boy who shines as
brightly as an angel... the fallen, avaricious kind.
