Set in 17th century and 21st century London, the Enlightenment-era court of the Hapsburgs, China during the Qing Dynasty and ancient Egypt, Bright Empires is a five-volume fantasy. In The Skin Map, Kit Livingstone and his great- grandfather, Cosimo, are brought together to find a map originally tattooed on the skin of its author, a seventeenth-century explorer who had discovered the secret of access to other worlds and parallel universes. Malign forces are also after the map and, to the surprise of all, the map proves to be not the end of the quest but its beginning. A far greater prize remains, and a much more dangerous search will need to be undertaken.

Kit Livingstone encounters his great-grandfather in a deserted London alley. Surprisingly, as Cosimo long since disappeared, thought dead. He urges Kit to join him on a quest through time and space in search of a strange map made by another intrepid explorer. Fearful of being trapped in the intersections between worlds and times, this traveller from an early age had devised an intricate code, a roadmap of symbols, and tattooed it on his own skin. Now the race is on to find the Skin Map. Against his better judgement and rationality it is drawn into the hunt. But Kit and Cosimo are not the only ones searching for it. And their murderous rivals will stop at nothing to unlock its secrets... a prize beyond imagining. Taking in its sweep London, Oxford, Prague, China, and Egypt between the 17th and 21st centuries, The Skin map is the first of the five volume Bright Empires series: a multi-dimensional, time-bending fantasy of the highest order from a master storyteller.
