About this series
"I read everything Brendan DuBois writes. Science fiction, fantasy, mystery, it doesn't matter. He's one of the best." --- Kristine Kathryn Rusch, Hugo award-winning author
* * *
Hundreds of years after the War of the World devastated humanity, only one nation is still thriving in North America: the Empire of the Nunavut, also known as the Empire of the North, where Canada once stood.
In the first book of this series, “The Noble Warrior,” young Sire Armand de la Couture traveled south with his father by airship on a trading mission to a city-state called Potomick, which was once the capitol of the world's greatest empire, known as Amerka.
There, among the ruins of buildings and museums, he came upon a sacred site, a temple of a bearded, brooding man, sitting on a throne, looking out upon a rectangular pond. The man is known as Father Abram, and centuries ago, the stories say, he once freed the slaves. He is now worshipped and offerings are left at his feet, for the oppressed people of Potomick pray that a new Father Abram will arise and free the slaves once again.
Armand soon returned to the safety and comfort of his Empire, but he then took a critical look at his Empire's society, where indentured servants work for families to work off debts decades old, and Armand began to ask questions, questions that forced him into prison.
In the sequel, The Noble Prisoner," Armand has caught the attention of his Empire's security forces. Beaten, interrogated and tortured --- and also abandoned by his family --- he is deported west to the Imperial Oil Sands Authority, where condemned prisoners work as slaves to extract needed oil from the ground for the benefit of the Empire. There, as a pampered prince who has never known cold, hunger and fear, Armand is forced to survive both the elements and assassins.
Now, in the third book, "The Noble Prince," Armand has escaped from the Oil Sands Authority and has made his way south, to the Forbidden Lands. Captured by barbarians in a place once called Idaho, he meets up with a fellow captive from his home empire, named Melinda. In a daring escape, he breaks free from the barbarians with Melinda, and traveling south, they meet up with something fantastic: an ancient military base, staffed by soldiers with old weapons, who pledge loyalty to a forgotten empire called the United States...
In this concluding work of a three-novel series, award-winning winner author Brendan DuBois sets a new world among the ashes of the old, where the humanity-long struggle between freedom and slavery takes place in the ancient lands once known as Canada and America...
