Something stalks the riverlands of New Eden.
In its wake, death and sickness follow, and the Danish Kingdom’s northern provinces writhe in the hysterical grip of witch fever and barely-contained pandemonium.
Provost Martin Kolding — a ruthless servant of the Interior Ministry — journeys from Crosshaven to investigate the rising tally and restore order.
Meanwhile, Ulyana Tsoi, a half-Russian, half-Chinese survivor of The Atrocity, ekes out a miserable existence in a ruined wasteland she once called home.
As Kolding begins to make sense of the madness, he unravels a much darker secret buried for decades in the remote fringes of New Eden: a secret which not only binds Kolding and Tsoi’s fates together, but threatens to destabilise the tenuous peace between the Danish Kingdom and the other superpowers of the Arctic Circle.
Jordan has begun work on his second novel, a historical thriller set in 20th century England.
You can find him on whatever-they're-calling-Twitter-now and bsky, or on the Edinburgh SFF Writers group despite the fact he lives 400 miles away.
