The first instalment of an exciting NEW series from the author of The Wyrd Museum Trilogy and The Deptford Mice.
Robin Jarvis’s latest creation is a world set in an alternate past – in a genre that can only be described as Scyence Fyctione! This strangely familiar Britain consists of ninety-three individual ‘blessed isles’ floating in the deep darkness and the story begins in December in the Gloriana Kalendar, when Elizabeth Tudor has reigned for one hundred and seventy-eight years.
Into this world – a place with no animals and little technology – comes a stranger, Brindle. No one knows where he’s from, or how he’s arrived. But he brings strange implements and practices, and he’s about to change things forever…

He swiftly acquired a reputation as one of today’s most popular storytellers with his bestselling Deptford Mice series.
Across the stark heavens the mysterious objects came blazing , swerving and spinning in all direction, growing larger with every passing moment. Intense flashes of light flared and spangled around its surface, scribing a bright, wavering path through the darkness. Though it tumbled erratically, the object was plunging towards Malmes-Wutton. There was no time to panic, no time to raise an alarm
Out in the deep darkness float the ninety-three isles of the beatified realm of Britain. Elizabeth Tudor is celebrating her one hundred and seventy-eighth year on the throne of Englandia. Into this world – a place with no living animals and arcane technology – appears a visitor, bringing with him strange devices and sinister practices. He's about to change things forever…
