In the small town of Hanley in Stoke on Trent, they believe they have hit the jackpot. A virtually untouched shopping centre is begging to be looted. All they have to do, is get in, do the place over, and get out. Easy. Follow Geoff and Bevvo as they commence their assault and discover that what they believe is the end of the scourge of mankind may only be the beginning.

By age ten I was no idiot.
I did not believe.

But I was an idiot.
And so were they

They tell you that Hell is vast.
They tell you that Hell is a place of agonising torment.
They tell you that Hell is the fate that awaits the wicked.
And they tell you that Hell is a prison for all eternity.

Idiots.

Princess Kaiya’s voice could charm a dragon.

Had she lived when the power of music could still summon typhoons and rout armies, perhaps Cathay’s imperial court would see her as more than a singing fool. With alliances to build and ambitious lords to placate, they care more about her marriage prospects than her voice.

Only the handsome Prince Hardeep, a foreign martial mystic, recognizes her potential. Convinced Kaiya will rediscover the legendary but perilous art of invoking magic through music, he suggests her voice, not her marriage, might better serve the realm.

When members of the emperor’s elite spy clan– Kaiya’s childhood friend Tian and his half-elf sidekick (or maybe he’s her sidekick?)– discover mere discontent boiling over into full-scale rebellion, Kaiya must choose. Obediently wedding the depraved ringleader means giving up her music. Confronting him with the growing power of her voice could kill her.
