A stunning, post-apocalyptic vision of the future as humanity strives
to rebuild civilisation in a world ravaged by climate change.
Hardship is all Adam Hardy and his community have ever known.
Almost a century ago a storm of cataclysmic comets struck the Earth and
triggered generations of perpetual cold and darkness. Now the survivors
of rainswept England huddle in their tiny communities, scavenging the
ruins of the old world. Finally, the Long Autumn is coming to an end,
and society of a kind is starting to rebuild.
But for how long? Adam is struggling to hold his small Berkshire village
together as the age-old rivalry between the Taylors and the Lyalls
spills out into fresh bloodshed. A new tyrant, Frank Pendennis, has
risen in the east in Kent, and has dreams of conquest. And rumours of
something even worse are coming from the north...
The struggle to inherit the world is just beginning.
