In Under the Yoke, S.M. Stirling traces the rise of the Domination of the Draka and its long struggle with the

United States and the American-led Alliance for Democracy. In this alternate history, the Americans who reject the

Revolution did not scatter to the four winds and Canada; a slight change in the course of events brought them to the

new Crown Colony of Drakia instead … starting with the Cape of Good Hope and soon encompassing the whole of

the right subcontinent of Southern Africa. Soon burning resentment and limitless ambition spurred the expansion of

the people who called themselves the Draka.
