Publisher's Synopsis
As the fabric of civilized society begins to tear away and be devoured by the Solar Minimum, those who were prepared for the catastrophe quickly gather up the crumbs nature left in the wake of the goal depopulation event. An obscure U.S. Senate committee struggles to keep stride with the all-powerful Toprak Esir Corporation, who has been preparing for the Minimum for decades, while coming to terms with their new medieval world in all its gory. An unlikely alliance forms between a handful of misfit, U.S. Senate refugees and the British Crown who alone must organize a resistance against impossible odds. As the modern world crumbles away, what was once myth, fantasy, and folklore make up the nightmare of everyday life in the modern-medieval world, complete with fearless warriors, powerful scorers and devastatingly beautiful maidens. As survivors acclimate to a devolving planet, the laws of science are no longer relevant to the experience of everyday life. Not only do many animals and some humans grow several times their previously accepted size (especially pure- blood Saxons), humans once again share their world with dwarfs, fenrir, hellhounds, fairies, mermaids and the rest of the dictionary of fantasy beings. Only now does humanity understand the wild tails of their ancestors and learn that the gamut of fantasy beings have always been among them, they just could not be seen --until now. Seeing the world with new eyes and greater understanding, mankind realizes that medieval wisdom just might be the pinnacle of mankind's achievements.
