Broken Vessels

In the year 1780, the world of Tellus is on the brink of war. In the island nation of Albion, agents of the ancient and secretive feudal Order of Faolan prepare to defend their king and country against deadly internal and external threats. Stephen Moreton, the master architect, painter, and sculptor, must choose between two patrons; one, the Pope, whom he fears may have killed his friend and mentor, and the other, his own King and old friend, Alexander. Callum Fletcher, the writer and former navy man, faces an enemy more challenging than the beast Leviathan: himself. Donald Stone, the King's natural son, seeks furious revenge for the murder of his family at the hands of a shadowy figure he suspects may hold a prominent place of power in his own government.
