The Magistocrats

“If you are interested in a good story which is more about speculative fiction that has matured beyond pew-pews, this is a good book for you... a genuine freshness that should speak to anyone who wants to take a trip along with the great characters in this book.” - Adam Hez, via Author's Facebook page Intrigue. Magic. Violent struggles and an empire sleepwalking towards the brink of destruction. This is a story of mages at war. A tale of skulduggery, hubris and disaster. Enter the world of Grand Catai, where the application of high magic has created an empire spanning from Beijing to the far Pleiades. The imperial fleets range the galaxy, a child-emperor sits the throne and traitors groan in the work camps. For Novice Second Class Rudolf Valentine, it is all a goldfish bowl – a rigged game serving only to frustrate his grand ambitions. For Sister Anastasia, a Valkyrie of the Sisterhood Of Luna, Grand Catai is a dictatorship – an abomination to be torn down in the name of freedom. To Mage Zheng Wu, it is a mess of antagonisms in need of wisdom and knowledge – a problem to be solved. A problem whose solution lies among the stars. All of them are right, to a greater or lesser degree. And all of them are wrong in equal measure. When war threatens and a dangerous individual sets his sights on the throne, all find themselves drawn into the struggle. And as the intrigues mount and the empire’s greatest archmages vie for control, each must rise up and prove their mastery. They are refined, elegant, and above all, murderous. They are The Magistocrats.
