So continues The Swallowed World—a bold new futurist saga. At the crossroads of innovation and collapse, genius and madness, humankind faces the ultimate trial to which all life must submit: TRANSFORMATION OR EXTINCTION.

Book Two of The Swallowed World saga picks up two years after the events of the original, far from the affairs of America’s drowned coasts. At the cold heart of the Outlands, deep in the barbaric kingdoms known as the Rocky Freeholds, a band of young slaves escapes captivity with the aid of a mysterious benefactress. Setting off a fortuitous chain of events that will decimate armies and bring empires to their knees. Altering the course of human history…and human nature itself.
