Book excerpt: Earth is lost. Consumed by a blackness known only to legend. A thousand years have passed, and the remnants of humanity now sail a burning sea; a whirlpool of fire left in the wake of the Earth's demise. They know it as salvation and purgatory in equal measure. They call it The Eddawielm. In the remote colony of Beadogrimm's Rest, a young man named Edmund lives a sheltered life. Raised by a priest, and crippled by an incurable illness, he dreams of a life at sea... until the brutal murder of a family friend leaves him with no choice but to fulfill his fantasy. Exiled from his home, hunted and haunted by the legacy of mankind's greatest mistake, Edmund joins a brave captain, and a cunning spy, on a journey that will take him all the way to the Rim. And there, at the outermost edge of all charts, mythology and politics will collide... for the Ascendance of Mars is fast approaching; the war god has returned, and the seas will boil and rage at his passing.
