'My favourite kind of grand space opera'
BEN AARONOVITCH
Trapped inside the mysterious Order of Legends, Asha is struggling to become the hero that the hundred worlds need. Her sister is dead, her mother won't wake up, Obi is gone, and Xavior keeps visiting her dreams.
Unable to reach through the realm of heroes to summon the weapon that could change everything, she sets off to find the fabled gauntlet of Chasca, and meets new friends and old enemies...
As three timelines begin to converge, Asha must decide exactly what she's willing to sacrifice in order to save the universe.
The Rule of Chaos is the second instalment in The Order of Legends trilogy, a centuries-spanning adventure unmissable for fans of the spacefaring found family of Becky Chambers, the magical London of V. E. Schwab, and the epic climate-craft of N. K. Jemisin.

Press Reviews
- Ben Aaronovitch, author of the Sunday Times-bestselling Rivers of London series
My favourite kind of grand space opera, where anything can happen and usually does at great speed
- Nalini Singh, New York Times-bestselling author of the Psy-Changeling and Guild Hunter series
An audaciously joyous debut full of heart. I loved stepping into Esmie Jikiemi-Pearson's world of heroes and prophecies, friendships like family, and an epic adventure through the stars
- Louie Stowell, author of the Sunday Times-bestselling Loki: A Bad God’s Guide series
I blooming loved it! It reminded me of Lois McMasters Bujold x 2000AD (Halo Jones in particular) with a large helping of Doctor Who - utterly absorbing space opera!
- Jay McGuiness, vocalist of The Wanted and author of Blood Flowers
I just love this universe. I was both teased and pleased, and I am already ready for more
- S. A. MacLean, author of The Phoenix Keeper
Angry girls. Swoony simps. A galaxy-spanning future space quest with some fun little pit stops to visit a demon in 1812 London. Honestly, what's not to devour?
- Kemi Ashing-Giwa, USA Today-bestselling author of The Splinter in the Sky
An impressive blend of space opera and Regency romance... Endlessly creative and brimming with insightful commentary on imperialism, The Principle of Moments manages to be both epic and intimate - a true feat
- Lorraine Wilson, British Fantasy Award-winning author of We Are All Ghosts in the Forest
Truly original... An epic space adventure that tears down colonialism and builds instead a shimmering, achingly powerful message of agency, loyalty, and destiny. I loved every second of this book
- Locus Magazine
An answer to the question of: what happens if you cross Star Wars with Doctor Who? And then make it queer (queerer in Doctor Who's case), Black, and fundamentally disinterested in making excuses for the violence of empire? It's entertaining as all hell: it gets the vibe of being twelve years old and watching a lightsaber ignite on the big screen
- The Financial Times
Every page shines with the vigour and passion of youth
- The Guardian
A sprawling space opera fantasy stuffed with familiar tropes
- SFX
It has enthusiasm to burn, and characters you'll root for
- New Scientist
The perfect antidote to any January blues
- The Bookseller
At once a meticulous space opera - with hints of N. K. Jemisin's Broken Earth trilogy - and a centuries-spanning love story
