War Master’s Gate
by Adrian Tchaikovsky is book nine in the Shadows
of the Apt series (Tor £12.99), now available.
“Relentlessly advancing towards Collegium, the Empire is
again seeking to break down its walls. The mighty imperial armies have learnt
from their failures, and Empress Seda will brook no weakness in her soldiers.
However, Stenwold Maker has earned his title, and the War Master has strategies
to save his city. His aviators rule the skies – but the Wasp Kinden Empire has
developed a terrifying new aerial weapon.
Yet the campaign may be decided far from marching armies and
the noise of battle. In an ancient forest, where Mantis clans pursue their own
civil war, the Empress Seda is seeking lost magic. Some dangerous shadow of old
night is locked up among these trees and she is wants its power. Cheerwell
Maker must stop her, at any cost, but will their rivalry awaken something far
deadlier? Something that could make even their clash of nations pale into
insignificance...”
