Sins of Empire by Brian McClellan
Genre: Fantasy – Flintlock
Series: Gods of Blood and Powder #1
Publisher: Orbit (March 7, 2017)
Author Information: Website | Twitter
Length: 624 pages
An epic new fantasy series from Brian McClellan, set in the same world as his wildly popular Powder Mage trilogy.
The young nation of Fatrasta is a turbulent place – a frontier destination for criminals, fortune-hunters, brave settlers, and sorcerers seeking relics of the past. Only the iron will of the lady chancellor and her secret police holds the capital city of Landfall together against the unrest of a suppressed population and the machinations of powerful empires.
The insurrection that threatens Landfall must be purged with wile and force, a task which falls on the shoulders of a spy named Michel Bravis, convicted war hero Ben Styke, and Lady Vlora Flint, a mercenary general with a past as turbulent as Landfall’s present.
As loyalties are tested, revealed, and destroyed, a grim specter as old as time has been unearthed in this wild land, and the people of Landfall will soon discover that rebellion is the least of their worries.
I’ve never read McClellan but since this is the start to a new series, looks like a good time to check him out.

“Ghosts of the Tristan Basin” is a great novella introduction to this part of the Powder Mage world and several of the main characters in the upcoming series.

It feel like every couple of month you’ll post something about Brain Mcclellan to remind how I STILL need to finish The Promise of Blood series…
One day! I am excited to see how this one does though!
