Dark family secrets, a long-lost love affair and a multi-million pound gaming business lie in the centre of Iain Banks's fabulous new novel. The Wopuld family built its fortune over a game called Empire! - now a hugely successful video game. So successful, the American Spraint Corp wants to buy the firm out. Young renegade Alban, that has been evading the family clutches for a long time, is run to ground and persuaded to wait the forthcoming family gathering - part party, part Extraordinary General Meeting - convened by Win, Wopuld matriarch and most powerful person in the board, at Garbadale, the family's highland castle. Being drawn back into the bosom of the clan brings an inevitable and disconcerting confrontation with Alban's past. What drove his mother to use her own life? And is he yet prepared to see Sophie, his beautiful, enchanting cousin and teenage love, at the EGM? Grandmother Win's revelations will radically alter Alban's perspective permanently.
