Welcome to the 13th century.

ENGINES OF ASCENDANCY, an alternate medieval historical fiction series by Gregory Figg, tells a new story of the Middle Ages in a wide-ranging epic across the cities, forests and mountains of Europe.

An unassuming quarryman finds something he was not looking for, a revelation to catapult him and the rest of Christendom into a new age. Welsh partisans and French spies, English Templars and warring kings – the waves will wash over them all.

Explore a world irrecoverably altered by a single discovery, from which cascade manifold promises of upheaval incomprehensible to high and low alike. What happens when the ordinary is shattered by the inexplicable? What lies beyond the threshold of the unknown?
