From the author of the much-loved series Boudica and Rome, and the Sunday Times bestseller A Treachery of Spies, comes the visionary novel of a lifetime. Sometimes it takes a revolution to change the world, sometimes it takes a relationship. When Lan, anthropologist and grandmother, lies dying, she makes a promise that binds her long into the Beyond.

It is only with courage and conviction, grounded in an ancient wisdom, that this digital uprising will survive and grow into what she knows it can be: a human movement, capable of profound change, that can sweep us all to a future that works before it is too late. But Lan is dead, her powers to influence the living are limited and the challenge her grandchildren face is mythic in scale ...

Before Deni was a private investigator, he struggled with the politics of his own police department. Warren was forced to navigate around his partner, his lieutenant, the ATF, federal prosecutors, and his neighborhood in Southie. This story tests the bounds of what he can endure, his beliefs, his heritage. Blood is shed. Murders are rampant. No safe haven. Not in Boston. Not in Southern New Hampshire. Not in Ireland.
