Victory for the Shadari rebels has come at a terrible price. Hardship, superstition and a murderous cabal poison King Daryan's young regime, but help is nowhere to be found: the mercenary who led their rebellion has vanished, their Nomas allies have troubles of their own, and the Norlanders who returned home to plead - or fight - for the Shadari's independence have found themselves embroiled in the court politics of an empire about to implode.

As the foundations of the two far-flung countries begin to crack, an enigmatic figure watches from a tower room in Ravindal Castle. She is old, and a prisoner, but her reach is long, and her patience is about to be rewarded...

Inventive . . . absorbing and rewarding * Kirkus *
The suspense, character development, and worldbuilding are all superior, and the ominous tone of the opening is sustained throughout * Publisher's Weekly *
The characters work wonderfully well and when you get to the meat of the story, the reader is in for one hell of a ride. All round a cracking book and a title that keeps its strengths building * Falcata Times *

I loved these characters, even though I knew it was going to hurt. Heart-wrenching. Poignant. Lovely * Brandon Sanderson on Blood's Pride *
Superb * Tor.com on Blood'd Pride *
A remarkable feat for a newcomer, and leaves me eager for the sequel, Fortune's Blight * Locus on Blood's Pride *
Her ability to insert beautiful descriptions into an action-packed scene is certainly the mark of a talented writer and the series only looks set to become more exciting as the story progresses. * British Fantasy Society on Blood's Pride *
Intrigue, betrayal and old rivalries play out against the fires of revolution. Hang on for a wild ride! * Gail Z. Martin, author of Chronicles of the Necomancer on The Shattered Kingdoms *
Picture the fluent prose and flawless world-building of an author such as Trudi Canavan combined with the epic plot and character lists of an author like Martin and you won't be far off . . . Her ability to contrast beauty with brutality, hope with despair and love with hate will secure this novel as one of the year's finest * Fantasy-Faction on The Shattered Kingdoms *
