Sins of Empire is a fantasy novel by American author Brian McClellan, the first book [1] in the flintlock fantasy trilogy Gods of Blood and Powder. It was published by Orbit Books in 2017. A sequel titled Wrath of Empire was released on 15 May 2018. [2]
Ten years after the events of The Powder Mage trilogy , the Lady Chancellor of the young nation of Fatrasta must use her iron will and secret police force against the unrest of a suppressed population and the machinations of powerful empires.
Michel Bravis, a spy in all but name, a convicted war hero called Ben Styke, and Lady Vlora Flint—general of a mercenary company—must work together to purge the insurrection that threatens Landfall. Loyalties are tested, revealed and destroyed, while old powers are again discovered and will soon be a bigger challenge than Landfall's current worries.
