He's the author of the critically acclaimed Shadows of the Apt series, and his standalone novel Children of Time is the winner of the 30th Anniversary Arthur C. Clarke Award. shadowsoftheapt.com @aptshadowTchaikovsky livens up the tale with intrigue, duels and menagerie of horrifying creatures...

Set in a dying world where death hovers impatiently over everyone's shoulder, Cage of Souls is a frequently grim read, but it's a compelling journey'
