Dragonfly Falling

For many years the Wasp Empire has been expanding, warring on its neighbours and enslaving them. Having concluded its Twelve-Year War against the Dragonfly Commonweal, the Wasps have now turned their eyes towards the divided Lowlands.

Stenwold Maker realized the truth of the Empire’s power when it seized the distant city of Myna. Since then he has been sending out covert agents to track the progress of an enemy whose threat his fellow citizens will not recognize.

Among these agents are his niece Cheerwell, his ward Tynisa, the exotic Dragonfly prince Salma, a humble half-breed artificer Totho. and staunchest of his allies is the terrifying Mantis warrior Tisamon.

But can their efforts bring the Lowlands to their senses before it is all too late?
