Echoes of the Imperium | Olivia Atwater, Nicholas Atwater
3 posts | 1 read | 1 to read
Nicholas and Olivia Atwater combine ghosts, goblins, and dreadful faeries in a swashbuckling steampunk adventure that delivers (Caitlin Rozakis). Pick up Echoes of the Imperium and dive into a daring, madcap adventure that dashes from start to finish. A fallen empire. A goblin airship captain. One big, blasphemous problem. Captain William Blair has taken shady jobs beforewhat goblin hasnt? But this shady job has pirates off the port bow and legendary aethermancers knocking at his cabin door. Unfortunately, Wil has sworn an Oath to escort his newest dubious passenger wherever she wants to go and a goblin must be worth his word. The ragtag crew of the Iron Rose once survived the fall of an empirebut none of them are interested in revisiting the experience. As the dregs of the Imperium rise again to claw at their heels, Wil and his crew must face the literal ghosts of their past or else history may well repeat itself. Praise for Echoes of the Imperium "Swashbuckling steampunk adventure with a healthy dose of self-awareness, Echoes of the Imperium keeps sight of the social and ecological impacts of a steam-driven empire while delivering what we're here for--airship aerial dogfighting, aether-driven explosions, goggles that do something, and tragically shattered tea sets. And found family. And goblins." Caitlin Rozakis, NYT-bestselling author of Dreadful "Blair is such a wonderful, crunchy, gold-hearted captain-rogue, and his pack of misfits are all so faceted and intriguing. The blend of faerie and steampunk is equally full of familiar delights and surprising new twists. Whether you're here for madcap airship battles and swashbuckling steampunk knights, or the hard and beautiful truths about redemption and second chances, this is a rollicking adventure that satisfies on every level!" Davinia Evans, author of Notorious Sorcerer "A subversive, heartfelt and heart-soaring adventure of found family, redemption in the wake of war, broken tea sets and one singularly wonderful goblin captain. This is unmissable swashbuckling fantasy." Tasha Suri, author of The Jasmine Throne "The Atwaters deliver a punchy, riotous ride through tumultuous skies, with a cast of gold-hearted rogues. Fans of Firefly and Leverage will want to join this motley crew!" Charlotte E. English, author of Wyrde and Wayward and Modern Magick "Echoes of the Imperium resounds with wit, adventure, and heart, in a story that weaves irresistible roguish charm with powerful themes of regret and redemption. This is a world and a crew you'll never want to leave." Jacquelyn Benson, author of Empire of Shadows

Are you ACE? ARO? Are you tired and sick to death of the same old tropes about ACE/ARO folks being cold, aloof, stuffy tea sipping snobs who delight in tearing down their friends relationships? Or, worse, are “faking it” for nefarious purposes? Click on “comments” for all the rest. 1/6

IriDas And do you love, love, love a truly warm found family story filled with imperfect people helping each other through life—a life which happens to be filled with pirates, fairies, rebellions, aethermancers, and more, in a fantastic and imaginative steampunk world? 2/6 (edited) 8h
IriDas If you said yes to any of that, but especially to the parts about ACE/ARO folks, have I got a series for you. 3/6 (edited) 8h
IriDas Tales of the Iron Rose has 2 published books. A .5 novella and a full length book. It also has a short story available to subscribers to the authors newsletter. The stories follow Captain William Blair and his hodgepodge crew of former imperialists, rebels, spies, and a school teacher, the latter who leads the ship‘s gunnery ladies knitting circle. 4/6 (edited) 8h
IriDas See, you‘re already intrigued. 5/6 (edited) 8h
IriDas I cannot recommend a series more. I haven‘t been so excited about a couple of books since I read the Six of Crows duology, and I‘ve now read that 15 times (just to give you a picture of how much I love it). 6/6 (edited) 8h
