The Blade in the Angel's Shadow

Condemned and caged, swordswoman Captain Lament Evyngar awaits her fate in the Tower of London: execution for heresy and attempted regicide. But the edge of death was just the beginning of her journey.

Brought before Dr John Dee, Queen Elizabeth I's court sorcerer, Lament finds herself thrust into a dark pact. Dee's grand design—to shape a British Empire under Angelic command—hinges on two elusive, arcane artefacts. With coercion and occult ritual as her prison, Lament and her formidable companion, Sergeant Pieter Hertgers, are sent on a desperate quest through the war-torn Spanish Netherlands. Along the way, they discover sinister beings that manipulate humanity to wage cosmic wars, warping the very fabric of reality.

Bound by prophecy and time itself, Lament becomes untethered from her identity, swept across dimensions until she finally returns to the heart of Elizabethan London—only to face an incomprehensible horror festering within the royal court.
