Your work centres on themes of ruination, decline, collapse. And it seems you are not alone in this fascination: your podcast Fall of Civilizations has had 100 million listens; a related book, offering “stories of greatness and decline” is about to be released. For us, you’ve selected five books on the end of the world—presumably because for those experiencing dramatic cultural decline that’s how it must feel.

High fantasy books tell epic stories in secondary worlds. The Lord of the Rings is of course the giant of the genre, but it still tops bestseller lists today, with authors like Brandon Sanderson and George R R Martin. Why do you think we love to read these often-harrowing tales? One of the things I love about fantasy is it’s such a wonderful way of holding a mirror up to modern society.

Can’t-Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Wishful Endings to share upcoming book releases that we’re excited about! This meme is based on Waiting on Wednesday, which was created and hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine. I have been looking forward to the next book set in this world since I closed the last pages on The Blacktongue Thief. I completely loved that book and I’m actually really delighted to see that this is jumping backward in time to round out Galva’s backstory.

If you’re looking for something dark, gritty, and political, this is your book. The story follows several characters – a warrior running from his past, a nobleman who dreams of glory, and a bitter former soldier investigating a conspiracy.
