Résumé
Instant #1 New York Times Bestseller from the author of The Poppy War "Absolutely phenomenal. One of the most brilliant, razor-sharp books I've had the pleasure of reading that isn't just an alternative fantastical history, but an interrogative one; one that grabs colonial history and the Industrial Revolution, turns it over, and shakes it out." ― Shannon Chakraborty, bestselling author of The City of BrassFrom award-winning author R.

When Britain pursues an unjust war with China over silver and opium, Robin must decide… Read more
