"I read everything Brendan DuBois writes. Science fiction, fantasy,
mystery, it doesn't matter. He's one of the best." --- Kristine
Kathryn Rusch, Hugo award-winning author * * * Hundreds of years
after the War of the World devastated humanity, only one nation is
still thriving in North America: the Empire of the Nunavit, also
known as the Empire of the North, where Canada once stood. From
this Empire, young Sire Armand de la Couture travels south with his
father by airship on a trading mission to a city-state called
Potomick, which was once the capitol of the world's greatest
empire, known as Amerka. There, among the ruins of buildings and
museums, he comes upon a sacred site, a temple of a bearded,
brooding man, sitting on a throne, looking out upon a rectangular
pond. The man is known as Father Abram, and centuries ago, the
stories say, he once freed the slaves. He is now worshipped and
offerings are left at his feet, for the oppressed people of
Potomick pray that a new Father Abram will arise and free the
slaves once again. Armand soon returns to the safety and comfort of
his Empire, but takes a critical look at his Empire's society,
where indentured servants work for families to work off debts
decades old, and Armand begins to ask questions. But soon Armand
catches the attention of his Empire's security forces, and he is
forced to make a terrible decision: to betray his noble family and
the Empire that has raised him, or to fight for those who have no
voice, who are slaves in name and in deed, struggling to survive in
the Empire of the North. In this stunning debut work of a
three-novel series, award-winning winner author Brendan DuBois sets
a new world among the ashes of the old, where the humanity-long
struggle between freedom and slavery takes place in the ancient
lands once known as Canada and America...
