In the aftermath of the war, Iona “Sully” Sullivan has lost everything; her job, her friends, her fiancé and even her magic. But when an old friend shows up on her doorstep, offering her the chance to undo one of her long litany of mistakes, there is still enough of the old Sully left to get her on the first boat to Hong Kong. A stranger in a strange land, Sully must navigate alien customs, werebear chefs, the blossoming criminal underworld, religious extremists, Mongol agents, vampire separatists, and every other freak, maniac or cosmic leftover with an iota of power as they all compete for a chance at the most valuable prize in all the world; a little sailor doll named Eugene, and the last wish on earth.

G.D. Penman is the author of the Witch of Empire trilogy, Dungeons of Strata, and many other books.

Before finally realizing that the career’s advisor lied to him about making a living as an author, G.D. Penman worked as a tabletop game designer, as the VIP Manager of a national telecoms company and literally every awful demeaning job that you can think of in-between.

He is a veteran of the battlefields of Azeroth, the Northern Realms, Lordran, Tamriel and Thedas, but he left his heart in Baldur’s Gate.

Nowadays he is fulfilling his destiny as a fat, bearded man by writing fantasy novels and smoking a pipe.

He lives in Dundee, Scotland with his wife, children, dog and cats. Just . . . so many cats.
