THIS TITLE HAS BEEN REPUBLISHED UNDER MY PEN NAME, VAL ST. CROWE.
Two hundred and fifty years after the zombie apocalypse, the surviving humans live under the rule of a regime which denounces technology and knowledge as the source of the Scourge...
Gabriel, son of the emperor, has a vision. Though most people are forbidden to learn to read, his privileged position allows him access to find out about the past. He knows about democracy and freedom. He's intent on bringing knowledge back to the people and freeing the world of tyranny.
But he doesn't count on a band of rebels in the north, who are erecting a trickster magician as a pretend messiah, who want to spearhead a revolution to tear down the empire.
Nor does he foresee his sister's marriage to a necromancer--a man who can control the revenants, who can lead a revenant army, and whose talents are so intense a threat that Gabriel will be rendered powerless against them.
The revenants surround the empire all the while, tearing at the fences, pounding on the walls, their jaws open and gaping. Hungering. For flesh.
Empire of Rust was originally published in six parts. This is the complete text of the entire novel.
