A time-defying thriller' ROBIN HOBBStrange things are happening in Tokyo. As war with Russia looms, the city is plagued by strange electricity storms, while the staff at the British Legation have gone on strike, claiming that the building is haunted.

But then Mori disappears, and Thaniel and Takikoâ?Ts paths diverge as they desperately try to find him. As their searches lead them to snow-steeped prisons and mountainside shrines, Thaniel is faced with the terrifying revelation that Moriâ?Ts powers are no longer enough to save them â?" and that the watchmakerâ?Ts time may have run out. Natasha Pulleyâ?Ts extraordinary new novel, The Kingdoms, will be available in Spring 2021.
