France, May 1940. Seated in the cockpit of his Hurricane, Sergeant George Yeoman - young, eager, and innocent in the ways of war - is on his way to join his first operational squadron. Meanwhile, the German Panzers advance unchecked through the Ardennes, and as the Allied bombers plead to strike at them, the Luftwaffe is already set to launch a decisive blow. Disaster beckons, and Yeoman and No. 505 Squadron soon find themselves courting death in a series of increasingly desperate sorties as the Allied army begins its retreat towards Dunkirk. 

After his time in France and the nightmare of Dunkirk, Sergeant George Yeoman of No. 505 Squadron R.A.F. no longer has any illusions about the war he is fighting. Those months’ service have left Yeoman a battle-wearied flying ace, but if it is rest he’s after, then he is sorely mistaken. His commission finally through, Yeoman finds himself presented with new responsibilities and challenges when he is temporarily attached to a Polish fighter squadron.

April 1941. As Rommel’s Africa Korps thunder towards Tobruk, the last bastion of British defence in North Africa, Flying Officer Yeoman is assigned to defend the dwindling British lines. The blazing African sky is studded with Stukas, Fiats and hellish antiaircraft fire. While on the ground, the desert is littered with minefields and German armour. The RAF in North Africa are as much at their wits' end as they were over the channel during the Battle of Britain. The fighting is just as ferocious. The Germans appear just as unstoppable....

Alors qu’elle profite d’une retraite bien méritée au bord de l’océan, passant ses journées à boire du vin, à pêcher et à transformer chacun de ses proches voisins en ennemi mortel, la générale Turyin Mulaghesh reçoit la visite d’un fonctionnaire de Saypur. La Première ministre Shara Komayd a une mission pour elle.

Roi déchu, ancien prisonnier politique, espion d’élite de Saypur, Sigrud je Harkvaldsson n’est pas un homme comme un autre. Rendu fou par la mort de sa fille, il a tué plusieurs soldats innocents. Et le voilà désormais obligé de vivre dans la clandestinité. Mais le meurtre de sa plus vieille amie, l’ancienne Première ministre Shara Komayd, va le replonger dans son domaine d’excellence. La traque. La violence. L’assassinat. La destruction.

You've got to be careful when you're chasing a murderer through Bulikov, for the world is not as it should be in that city. When the gods were destroyed and all worship of them banned by the Polis, reality folded; now stairs lead to nowhere, alleyways have become portals to the past, and...

The city of Voortyashtan was once the home of the goddess of death, war and destruction, but now it's little more than a ruin. General Turyin Mulaghesh is called out of retirement and sent to this hellish place to find a Saypuri secret agent who's gone AWOL in the middle of a mission. But the ghosts of past wars have followed her there, and soon she begins to wonder what happened to the souls in the afterlife when the gods were defeated by her people, the Polis.

Autrefois puissante cité divine capable de conquérir et d'asservir les peuples établis à sa proximité, Bulikov est tombée. Ses dieux protecteurs ont été exterminés par un chef de guerre venu de Saypur. Et une mystérieuse catastrophe a eu lieu dans la foulée : le Cillement. Soixante-dix ans plus tard, Bulikov n'est plus que l'ombre d'elle-même. Restent toutefois visibles, çà et là, certains vestiges des miracles qui l'ont façonnée, notamment d'immenses escaliers brisés qui ne relient plus la terre aux cieux.
