Publisher's Summary

You never want to ruin a really good dramatic exit. When you flee home on a cyborg horse the exact second you turn 18, you don’t really expect to go back to the place you fled from, you know? But sometimes your old life hits you from behind.

Sometimes you spend years away from home, killing dangerous people who had the bad luck to get infected by a lungful of ghostfog, only to find out that your dad, the king, is dead, and now your siblings are ordering you back home for a high-stakes family reunion.

But when the heirs are quadruplets, the line of succession tends to get a wee bit murky. So in order to regain your independence, you’ve got to navigate a deadly web of intrigue, where every sibling wants your allegiance, and any decision might tear your country—and your family—apart.

Praise for The Fall Is All There Is:

"Completely different to anything I read this year." (FanFiAddict)

"This is a one-of-a-kind character driven novel...the world-building is outrageously original." (Sue Bavey, Booknest.eu)

"One of the best voices I think I’ve ever read...unlike anything I’ve seen before. A gem of a book." (L.L. MacRae, SPFBO finalist and author of The Iron Crown)

"There was never a dull moment on any page." (Tome Raider)

"One of the most original, energetic things I've read in some time." (Quenby Olson, SPFBO finalist and author of Miss Percy's Pocket Guide (to the Care and Feeding of British Dragons))

Critic Reviews

"The Fall Is All There Is is both relentlessly energetic and visceral. Caplan doesn't hold your hand as an author, he slams down the lap bar and sends the roller coaster that is Petre Mercy's story careening down the tracks." (Quenby Olson, SPFBO finalist and author of Miss Percy's Pocket Guide (to the Care and Feeding of British Dragons))

"The Fall Is All There Is was delightful...the characters are distinct and hilarious, the worldbuilding is deep and imaginative, and the pacing is solid enough to hold your interest for hundreds of pages. Throw in some cyborg horses, thyroid swords, and ghostfog, and you have a five-star read." (Kerstin Espinosa Rosero, SPFBO finalist and author of Burn Red Skies)

"This book is freaking amazing and you should absolutely read it. Now. Will I say that about all of Caplan's books? It's likely. He's fast becoming one of my all-time favorite authors ever." (Melissa Polk, author of The Trow of Duncaster)
