Ghosts of the Tristan Basin by Brian McClellan follows Taniel Two-Shot, a powder mage serving with the Tristan Ghost Irregulars, a volunteer unit fighting in the Fatrastan Revolution. Operating in swampy frontier territory, they sabotage enemy logistics and strike at the Kez army’s powerful sorcerers, while political tensions simmer within the fledgling Fatrastan government. When the city of Planth sends an urgent plea for aid, Taniel’s unit finds itself working alongside the notorious Mad Colonel Styke, forcing uneasy alliances amid escalating war. Blending epic and high fantasy with gunpowder-era warfare, magic, and political intrigue, this story is set eight months before the events of Promise of Blood.

Promise of Blood by Brian McClellan opens with a successful military coup that topples a monarchy and replaces it with a fragile new regime. Field Marshal Tamas must hold a war-torn nation together as foreign powers threaten invasion, royalist loyalists plot revenge, and supposed allies in the Church, unions, and mercenary ranks pursue their own agendas. His remaining support comes from a handful of powder mages, including his estranged marksman son Taniel, and Adamat, a former inspector forced into dangerous investigations by blackmail. As rumors spread that long-forgotten gods may be stirring, this epic fantasy blends gunpowder-era warfare, political intrigue, and industrial-age magic into a tense narrative of rebellion and uncertain revolution.

The Autumn Republic by Brian McClellan concludes the Powder Mage trilogy with a focus on war, rebellion, and shifting political power. Field Marshal Tamas returns to Adro to discover its capital occupied by a foreign force, his son missing, and his command structure fractured as the Adran army splinters under pressure from the invading Kez. Inspector Adamat navigates mutiny and treachery within the ranks while pursuing leads on his abducted child, pulling him deep into military and political intrigue. At the same time, powder mage Taniel Two-shot, pursued by former allies, holds a fragile advantage that may determine whether Adro survives the conflict in this blend of epic fantasy, gunpowder-era warfare, and divine influence.
