S. M. Stirling presents the stunning and epic conclusion to the New
York Times bestselling Change series, now in paperback. Many years ago,
when advanced technology failed and humanity found itself in a
turbulent, postapocalyptic world, extraordinary men and women birthed a
new society from the ashes.
Two generations after the Change, Crown Princess Órlaith struggles to
preserve the hard-won peace her father brought to Montival--the former
western North America. But the Change opened many doors, and through
them Powers strong and strange and terrible came, to walk once more
among humankind.
With her fire-forged friend and ally, Japanese Empress Reiko, Órlaith
must take up her sword to stop the spread of the mad malignancy behind
the Yellow Raja, who has imprisoned her brother Prince John. And from
the emerging superpower of Mongolia, the Sky-Blue Wolves of the High
Steppe ride once more beneath the banner of Genghis Khan--the thunder of
their hooves resounding across a world in turmoil.
