The continent breaks in print.
Atlas of Empire is the alternate-history universe for Proofs of Empire, Settlements of Empire, and Bonds of Empire: war, occupation, rebellion, treaty language, western claims, and the maps that keep pretending they are innocent.
Proofs of Empire
Five volumes. One altered war. A continent that keeps sending aftershocks west.
The War of 1812 goes the other way, Canada is taken, and the Civil War era inherits a conquest it cannot digest. Halifax, treaty rooms, Red River, railway claims, and the Pacific all enter the ledger.
