"When the Smithsonian Institution's first Hall of Physical Anthropology opened in 1965, the first thing visitors saw were 160 Andean skulls fixed to the wall like a mushroom cloud. Empires of the Dead explains that Skull Wall's origins, and this introduction establishes its scope: a history from 1532 to the present of how the collection of Inca mummies, Andean crania, and a pre-Hispanic surgery named trepanation made "ancient Peruvians" the single largest population in the Smithsonian and many other museums in Peru, the Americas, and the world. This introduction argues that the Hall of Physical Anthropology displayed these collections while hiding their foundation on Indigenous, Andean, and Peruvian cultures of healing and science. These "Peruvian ancestors" of American anthropology reveal the importance of Indigenous and Latin American science and empire to global history, and their relevance to debates over museums and Indigenous human remains today"--

Shortlisted for the Samuel Johnson prize for non-fiction; the extraordinary and forgotten story behind the building of the First World War cemeteries, due to the efforts of one remarkable and visionary man, Fabian Ware. Before WWI, little provision was made for the burial of the war dead. Soldiers were often unceremoniously dumped in a mass grave; officers shipped home for burial. The great cemeteries of WWI came about as a result of the efforts of one inspired visionary. In 1914, Fabian Ware joined the Red Cross, working on the frontline in France. Horrified by the hasty burials, he recorded the identity and position of the graves. His work was officially recognised, with a Graves Registration Commission being set up. As reports of their work became public, the Commission was flooded with letters from grieving relatives around the world. Critically acclaimed author David Crane gives a profoundly moving account of the creation of the great citadels to the dead, which involved leading figures of the day, including Rudyard Kipling. It is the story of cynical politicking, as governments sought to justify the sacrifice, as well as the grief of nations, following the 'war to end all wars'.

It has been two decades since the daughter of the death goddess enacted her cruel betrayal. Two decades since the other nine gods were slain, their semi-divine progeny murdered, and the disparate peoples of the Riverland forced to bend knee to their new empress and her armies of the dead.But when bandits kidnap a youth at the edges of the empire, two aged and broken heroes emerge from obscurity to attempt an unlikely rescue. Neither man relishes confronting the forces of their dread empress, but when they learn that their quarry is being held for sacrifice in the imperial city of Rekkidu, they reluctantly begin gathering a crew of uniquely talented criminals to attempt an impossible rescue.A rescue whose failure could have shattering consequences. For they are Jarek and Acharsis, the last of the demigods, long thought dead and whose return could shake the very foundations of the empire.

The Emperor is dead. Long live the Empire. General Bordan has a lifetime of duty and sacrifice behind him in the service of the Empire. But with rebellion brewing in the countryside, and assassins, thieves and politicians vying for power in the city, it is all Bordan can do to protect the heir to the throne. Apprentice Magician Kyron is assigned to the late Emperor’s honour guard escorting his body on the long road back to the capital.

Kaelin Martin's ancestors were sailors from the founding of the Realm. Now, the young seafarer has forsaken his family's history and joined the War Order. Much to the consternation of his parents, he now trains to become a soldier. His mission is to guard the human race from their traditional enemies: trolls and dwarves. The world is at war, and the young man feels called to defend his homeland more than honor is heritage. Goldleaf Terrorthorn is the finest young elf archer to be seen in generations. His heart burns with anger at the recently signed peace treaty with the humans. The elf now looks for purpose, convinced the fragile reconciliation is temporary as he is thrust in the middle of his people's age old enemies. Aeneria is a world where every sentient being can learn magic. Armies of stout warriors use sorcery to enhance their bodies and weapons. The hands of the gods touch the world every day, shaping it to the benefit their loyal worshipers. "A definite must read for battle enthusiasts!" Dennis Montoya, coauthor of Over the Dragonwall "What's not to love about magic, elves, dragons and something dark that brews just beyond the horizon?!" M.S. Murray, author of Cassie: Black Sand and coauthor of Silver Bells, Curses and Spells "Empires of the Dead is like a cuisine crafted by a master chef. Its ingredients are part Game of Thrones, part Lord of the Rings, a pinch of Deadliest Catch, a dash of Clash of the Titans, and then mix with Eyes of the Dragon. You get a story you can sink your teeth into!" Dawn Authier, author of Life Gives Me Gas and Bitter Pill
