Salute the Dark

'SALUTE THE DARK' IS THE FOURTH BOOK IN THE CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED EPIC FANTASY SERIES SHADOWS OF THE APT BY ADRIAN TCHAIKOVSKY, WINNER OF THE ARTHUR C. CLARKE AWARD. AS SPYMASTER STENWOLD MAKES A STAND IN HIS HOME CITY, OTHERS MUST CHOSE WHERE THEIR LOYALTIES LIE.

ALL MUST FACE THE END OF DAYS. . .

Uctebri has at last got his hands on the Shadow Box and can finally begin his dark ritual - a ritual that the Wasp-kinden Emperor believes will grant him immortality. But Uctebri has his own plans both for the Emperor and the Empire.

The mighty Wasp armies are on the march, and the spymaster Stenwold must see which of his allies will stand now that the war has finally arrived. This time the Empire will not stop until a black and gold flag waves over Stenwold's home city.

Tisamon the Weaponsmaster is faced with a terrible choice: a path that could lead him to abandon his friends and his daughter and to face degradation and loss. Yet it might bring him before the Wasp Emperor with a blade in his hand. But is he being driven by Mantis-kinden honor, or manipulated by something more sinister?
