Fifth Book in the Wine of the Gods Universe
The first cross dimensional diaspora was nearly mythical.
A few colonies, and the exile of the genetically engineered abominations so unwisely created by scientists.
Fourteen centuries later, the second diaspora was well underway before the Earth first encountered another civilization with cross-dimensional abilities. Their immediate violent clash was followed by a combination of avoidance and probing for information.
Now, both the Earth and the Empire of the One have laid claim to the same World, and are not about to back down and look weak.
Pity about the native population, which has some odd idea about owning their own World.
The magicians of Ash and the King's Own Intelligence officers try to keep track of the Emire of the One's relationship with a foreign nation, while they monitor the spies from both the Empire and the Earth on their own territory.
