The Sunset World

The Emperor is Dead! Humanity's last bastion among the stars has been overthrown and in its place comes a new and terrifying world dominated by ancient horrors hostile to mankind. The smashed remnants of civilization must overcome old hatreds if it wishes to survive! A village farm-wife with a difficult past, an ambitious noblewoman, and a scholar descended from humanity's ancient foes will all try to stay one step ahead of oblivion while trying to understand a world turned upside down. What they discover will change the course of humanity -- if they can survive.
