A TREMBLING EARTH Civil war engulfs the Shima Imperium. With their plans to renew the Kazumitsu Dynasty foiled, the Lotus Guild unleash their deadliest creation - a mechanical goliath known as the Earthcrusher - as they march towards a battle for absolute dominion over the Isles.

A BROKEN REBELLION Yukiko and Buruu are leading the Kagé rebellion, gathering new allies and old friends in an effort to unite the country against the chi-mongers. But the ghosts of Buruu's past stand between them and the army they need, and Kin's betrayal has destroyed all trust among their allies.

A FINAL BATTLE As the earth splits asunder, as armies destroy each other for rule over an empire of lifeless ash and the final secret about blood lotus is revealed, the people of Shima will learn one last, horrifying truth. There is nothing a mother will not do to keep her children by her side.

Praise for the Lotus War series

'This chi-fuelled vision of a steampunk feudal Japan will blow your split-toed socks off' Scott Westerfeld
