Historyverse

The characters placed across the full span of human history. Each era strips them to their essential natures — Lillian's warmth under pressure, Miles's precision and loyalty — refracted through whatever context history provides. From the prehistoric steppe to Byzantine Constantinople to the Irish Famine.

The Badger of Byzantium
Lillian as a powerful patroness of sacred music in Constantinople, with Miles as her Varangian guard. Political intrigue wound through the Hagia Sophia's candlelight.
