Darkest Ambitions (Sovereigns of the Storm Book 2)
Lust for Life? Or lust for Death?
Nightminster is at the threshold of success. Victorina Krossington – beautiful, intelligent, wealthy – accompanies him to the biggest New Year Party in London. They are the star couple of the night.
What could go wrong?
Diehards in the Krossington clan could assassinate him for being so insolent as to love Victorina. Detectives of the great ZEEBRI complex could hang him for the murder of Jumping Jackson. The militant Official SUN Party could take power over London, forcing him to flee forever.
But Nightminster knows how to bide his time and strike back stronger. In old records from the Public Era, he traces evidence of a long-forgotten island of the Krossingtons hidden in the vast marshes of eastern England. It’s the perfect location for Target Hundred Thousand. The question is, how can he get his hands on it? And how can he turn it into a fountain of gold?
For all his talents, Nightminster cannot see he is being subtly corrupted. When he finally gets what he wants, it turns out to be hell on Earth.
And it’s too late to turn back. Only triumph or death await him now.
Darkest Ambitions is the second book in the Sovereigns of the Storm dystopian series.

About the Author
Malcolm J Wardlaw is a dystopian author fascinated by how global society will deal with the coming impossibilities. It is necessary to be bluntly honest; it’s not possible to solve climate change, pollution and resource shortages without serious pain.
Sovereigns of the Storm (three-book serial) is set in a wild and lawless post-apocalyptic Britain (situated in a wild and lawless world). It suits the central character, Nightminster, just fine. He’s a workaholic winner prepared to take any risk to get what he wants. The problem is, another guy has the same idea. When the two collide, disaster shakes the entire country.
Sovereigns of the Collapse (five-book serial) takes place thirty-three years later. Britain is an even more paranoid and secretive society. Two brothers, Donald and Lawrence Aldingford, and one woman, Sarah-Kelly Newman suffer misfortunes that throw them into the vortex of a barbaric conspiracy long hidden from the world. They fight back against characters from Sovereigns of the Storm who are now at the peak of their powers. The stage is set for violent convulsions.
Each serial is stand-alone and there are no spoilers between them, so it does not matter which you read first.
