Dragonfly Falling

Description

As cities across the Lowlands are besieged and terrifying new weapons are unveiled, Stenwold—spymaster and strategist—must coordinate a widening web of alliances before the enemy’s momentum becomes unstoppable. With his old comrades scattered across distant regions, the story follows multiple fronts as different peoples are drawn into uneasy cooperation against the Wasps. Blending high-stakes military intrigue with vivid worldbuilding, the novel explores loyalty, sacrifice, and the fragile politics of unity under pressure. Adrian Tchaikovsky’s sharp, propulsive style delivers a darker, more expansive chapter of the Shadows of the Apt saga, where survival depends as much on intelligence and trust as on force.
