From the author of THE LIGHT AGES. Looks kinda steampunkish. A ruthless matriarch brings her son home to die. In a magnificent old house, a forgotten outpost of a powerful Guild, her son, Ralph, recovers from his illness. Ralph is drawn to nature and not the smoky age of aether and industry and to a fisherman’s daughter. Together they plot to restore their own lives and the wasted world. Mom doesn’t share Ralph’s enthusiasms and a bloody civil war ensues. Move over China Mieville? #26759
