Solitaire Townsend is a climate expert by day, and storyteller by night. After decades of teaching governments, global brands and even movie studios how to communicate sustainability, she now has stories of her own to tell. She regularly blogs for Forbes, has a popular TED talk, and wrote the critically acclaimed non-fiction book The Solutionists. While some of her characters might not know that they are 'LGBTQIA+' or 'neurodivergent', Solitaire does because she's also both. She lives in London, and once visited an oil-rig in the Amazon, which caught on fire. Visit www.solitairetownsend.com
'This startling alternative history takes us to a newly-imagined world in which fossil fuels extended the Romans’ conquest of the world through space and time; because energy is power. The result is a vivid, ferocious adventure, as the heroine struggles against a world even more violent than our own— or so it seems until you consider matters of scale, and realize this novel is a kind of allegory for our fight too' Kim Stanley-Robinson 'A highly original, vividly-imagined fantasy Roman Empire where oil is power, and one young woman must fight to survive and save all that she holds dear' Ruth Downie
