Inceptio starts as a psychological thriller, then becomes much more. Karen thinks of herself as an all-American girl. Trying to carve a career in New York’s cutthroat advertising world, she’s on the brink of success when she attracts a stalker. This is where the plot segues into alt-history, military strategy, and politics.

Finding herself at the centre of a diplomatic incident, Karen is spirited away to Roma Nova and an uncertain future.
