About this ebook

Stephen R. Lawhead’s acclaimed Bright Empires series—now available in one volume!

The Skin Map

It is the ultimate quest for the ultimate treasure. Chasing a map tattooed on human skin. Across an omniverse of intersecting realities. To unravel the future of the future.

The Bone House

Kit Livingstone met his great-grandfather Cosimo in a rainy alley in London where he discovered the truth about alternate realities. Now he’s on the run—and on a quest—trying to understand the impossible mission he inherited from Cosimo: to restore a map that charts the hidden dimensions of the multiverse. Survival depends on staying one step ahead of the savage Burley Men.

The Spirit Well

The Search for the Map—and the secret behind its cryptic code—intensifies in a quest across time, space, and multiple realities.

The Shadow Lamp

The quest for answers—and ultimate survival—hinges on finding the cosmic link between the Skin Map, the Shadow Lamp, and the Spirit Well.

The Fatal Tree

It started with small, seemingly insignificant wrinkles in time: A busy bridge suddenly disappears, spilling cars into the sea. A beast from another realm roams modern streets. Napoleon’s army appears in 1930s Damascus ready for battle. But that’s only the beginning as entire realities collide and collapse.

Good story. Not liking the subtle and not so subtle racism. If you want to call Indigenous North Americans lazy just come out and say it, and the evil jews corrupting Egypt? Then i read the bio. I'll forgive you a bit cause your an inbred dirt farmer.

Started slow. Forced myself to come back after dropping the series after The Bone House. So glad I did. Gets better the further you read. If you start it, finish it. You'll be glad you did.
