Return to the Amaranthine Spectrum - the most dazzling and ambitious space opera of recent years.

The universe is in disarray. Rebellions against the immortal Amaranthine are spreading, worlds and moons have fallen, and the Emperor is missing. An ancient being has reawoken and claimed the throne. And the most important invention in the history of time itself has been stolen.

And amidst this chaos, lives continue. A pair of sisters and one small child flee across a world they know nothing of. An outcast, hunted by his tormentors, is caught up in the machinations of a petty warlord. An imprisoned AI creates empires of its own in the building to which it is confined, and seeks an escape.

Mind-bending Science Fiction from a remarkable new voice.

Industry Reviews

a beautifully crafted read that's evocative and hugely inventive - SFX

an incredibly impressive debut novel novel, with an engrossing plot and delightful oddness that should satisfy any space opera aficionado - Sci-Fi Now

to call The Promise of the Child one of the most accomplished debuts of 2015 so far is to understate its weight-instead, let me moot that is among the most significant works of science fiction released in recent years. - Tor.com

Marvellous...a space opera of surpassing gracefulness, depth, complexity, and well, all-round weirdness - Locus
