A gripping political thriller set in a future Britain on the brink of change, Britannia Rises is a bold reimagining of empire, power, and survival in a world on edge.
Following the death of the long-reigning queen, The British Empire is thrust into a new era. The new monarch faces a kingdom in flux rival powers circling, enemies within his own house, and a global eye fixed on any sign of weakness. As political tensions rise, all hopes rest on Outpost. A cooperative programme designed to preserve peace and safeguard humanity’s future.
But amidst this geopolitical chessboard, the fate of the nation may rest in the hands of one ordinary man.
Jamie Bayston, a young teacher just starting out in life, becomes an unwitting witness to a shocking murder. What follows is a tense and fast-paced race for survival, as Jamie is pulled deep into the
Empire’s darkest corridors. Forced to confront truths he never imagined, Jamie must protect his family and navigate a hidden world where power is maintained through control, secrets, and sacrifice.
