On the storm-wracked ocean world of Aquasilva, the priesthood of the Fire-God Ranthas holds supreme religious power. Cathan, reluctant heir to the clan leadership of Lepidor, has never questioned the teachings of Ranthas’s priests and has little interest in politics, preferring to escape into the more orderly world of oceanography. But when a valuable iron deposit is discovered, Cathan must travel to a clan congress to inform his father – and in doing so discovers just how far the Domain is willing to go to secure absolute control, and how much they have distorted what he thought of as the truth. Sent to a heretic citadel in the outer reaches of the rebellious Archipelago for training, Cathan learns a very different version of Aquasilva’s history, and makes contact with dissidents from across the world – but all of his skills and influence may not be enough when the Domain turns its eyes towards Lepidor . . .

El emperador ha muerto, y con él, parte del secreto de Cathan. Hostigado por los fanáticos sabuesos del Dominio, han tenido que refugiarse junto a Ravenna en una biblioteca theitiana. Sin embargo, las convulsiones políticas les obligan a seguir huyendo. Todavía negándose a aspirar al trono imperial, Cathan se centra en el estudio del clima de Aquasilva, a fin de utilizar el Aeón en su lucha contra la tiranía. No obstante, pronto se evidenciará que Cathan no puede continuar dando la espalda a su destino y que todos deben asumir el papel que éste les ha asignado para liberar el planeta de la opresión y forjar un futuro lleno de esperanza.

January 1954. Mists cover the hills around Selchester. Someone at the research facility known as the Atomic is leaking secrets to Soviet Russia, and when nuclear scientist Bruno Rothesay goes missing, the British Intelligence Services are convinced he's the mole. Hugo Hawksworth isn't so sure. Then a body turns up, and Hugo's instincts are proven correct. But if Rothesay wasn't selling secrets to the Soviets, who is? As Hugo digs deeper into buried connections and unlikely coincidences, he knows there's more to this case than his London superiors believe. But following his instincts will pit him against the Establishment--and tangle him once again in the poisonous legacy of the late Lord Selchester. As he closes in on the truth, Hugo finds himself confronted by an adversary who will stop at nothing, in a case that will prove the most personal of his career. With a touch of Downton Abbey, a whisper of Agatha Christie and a nod to John Le Carré, A Matter Of Loyalty is the third and final book in this delightfully classic and witty murder-mystery series.
