Description
"Epic, violent, grimy, electrifying...Kemp's style is polished to a gleaming and evocative standard. Gorgeous writing." - SPR For Jack Booker, an orphan from the cutthroat streets of Victorian, life is about survival. The squabbles of the imperial aristocracy are of no importance to him; neither does he concern himself with the machinations of the empire's gods, the Primals, who rule humanity with indifferent disdain. Power plots among the mighty mean little in the grungy alleys of the undercity, where only one rule truly matters: Only the strong survive. This struggle becomes even more deadly when Fist, a mob boss with delusions of grandeur, embroils his gang in a game far above their league. Soon, Jack finds himself thrust into a web of intrigue, subterfuge, and rebellion when he encounters the enigmatic Freedom, a revolutionary with an uncompromising vision for the future and a deep hatred for the Primal Empire. Forces beyond Jack's comprehension command subjects like pieces on a chessboard - and, somehow, he may have just become the most important pawn...
