"The Irish exile of the title has left for England then America, presumably because of his involvement in the uprising of 1798, though this is unstated (the political elements of the novel are generally not explicit), leaving behind his wife and son. He settles near Philadelphia and eventually remarries the daughter of another exile (definitely a former rebel, but one who has seen the error of his ways), pointedly named Erin. Meanwhile, the rest of the novel deals with the exile's own daughter Rossanna, and the fashionable social life she is forced, unwillingly to lead in London. Her father's dubious history almost threatens her ability to make a match, but all is made good in the end. Most of volume three is a play, "The Favourite" (pp. 93-255) - a private theatrical in which she takes part." Bernard Quaritch Ltd., The Downshire novels (2020)

From a new star in epic fantasy comes an irresistibly compelling novel where an unlikely team must band together to unearth a conspiracy that might devastate their empire in this captivating blend of page-turning locked room mystery and lyrical fantasy that readers will find “ensnaring.” (Cat Rambo). "Detailed and mysterious, a place to explore and relish. Empire of Exiles is highly recommended!” – R.A. Salvatore “In these pages, you are in the hands of a master.” - Ed Greenwood “Characters I love, plot twists that keep coming, and a unique and fascinating world!" – Melissa Caruso “Beautifully wrought and equally ensnaring.” – Cat Rambo Twenty-three years ago, a Duke with a grudge led a ruthless coup against the empire of Semilla, killing thousands. He failed. The Duke was executed, a terrifyingly powerful sorcerer was imprisoned, and an unwilling princess disappeared. The empire moved on. Now, when Quill, an apprentice scribe, arrives in the capital city, he believes he's on a simple errand for another pompous noble: fetch ancient artifacts from the magical Imperial Archives. He's always found his apprenticeship to a lawman to be dull work. But these aren't just any artifacts — these are the instruments of revolution, the banners under which the Duke lead his coup. Just as the artifacts are unearthed, the city is shaken by a brutal murder that seems to have been caused by a weapon not seen since the days of rebellion. With Quill being the main witness to the murder, and no one in power believing his story, he must join the Archivists — a young mage, a seasoned archivist, and a disillusioned detective — to solve the truth of the attack. And what they uncover will be the key to saving the empire – or destroying it again.
