Echoes of the Imperium

Nicholas and Olivia Atwater combine ghosts, goblins, and dreadful faeries in a “swashbuckling steampunk adventure that delivers” (Caitlin Rozakis). Pick up Echoes of the Imperium and dive into a daring, madcap adventure that dashes from start to finish.

A fallen empire. A goblin airship captain. One big, blasphemous problem.

Captain William Blair has taken shady jobs before—what goblin hasn’t? But this shady job has pirates off the port bow and legendary aethermancers knocking at his cabin door. Unfortunately, Wil has sworn an Oath to escort his newest dubious passenger wherever she wants to go… and a goblin must be worth his word.

The ragtag crew of the Iron Rose once survived the fall of an empire—but none of them are interested in revisiting the experience. As the dregs of the Imperium rise again to claw at their heels, Wil and his crew must face the literal ghosts of their past… or else history may well repeat itself.

Praise for Echoes of the Imperium:

"Swashbuckling steampunk adventure, Echoes of the Imperium delivers what we're here for—airship dogfighting, aether-driven explosions, goggles that do something, and tragically shattered tea sets. And found family. And goblins."

—Caitlin Rozakis, NYT-bestselling author of Dreadful

"A subversive, heartfelt and heart-soaring adventure of found family, redemption in the wake of war, broken tea sets and one singularly wonderful goblin captain. This is unmissable swashbuckling fantasy."

—Tasha Suri, author of The Jasmine Throne

“Smart, swashbuckling, wildly inventive. An absolute blast from start to finish.”

—H.G. Parry, author of The Scholar and the Last Faerie Door
