Peter Lucy is a writer and historian living in Somerset, UK. He has had a lifelong interest in historic arms and armour and enjoys live-action roleplay and costumed historic interpretation. He has a master’s degree in history from De Montfort University and a PhD from Cranfield University. He has served on operations as an army reservist and has worked extensively in the film industry.
When Gwin is persuaded to try her hand at live-action roleplay she quickly discovers that the character she has created, Thaddeus, has a life of his own, and through him Gwin experiences the incredible, complex and intricate world of Empire. Thaddeus’s world is beguiling, beautiful, violent, and dangerous, and the young warrior becomes entangled in a deadly conspiracy of power, passion, and betrayal.
Plunged back into the enchanting yet perilous realm of Empire, Gwin finds herself at the forefront, battling not only for her survival but also for the lives of her companions. Cast into a treacherous world vastly different from her own, this novice commander faces the daunting task of moulding a disparate group of outcasts into a cohesive fighting force.
United in their cause, they confront a brutal adversary, unravel a deadly plot, and seek to amend a grave injustice. This gripping tale is a blend of courage, intrigue, and the unyielding pursuit of justice, as Gwin and her warband navigate the tumultuous and violent landscape of the Empire.
Gwin must return to the beautiful, deadly, world of Empire if she is to find her friends, betrayed and hunted, running for their lives. Mysterious forces are in play, and their rescue will become a revolution. Hidden by mists, marshes and magic, Gwin gathers a renegade army to drive back an invader, battle crushing odds, and save the world.
