The goblins have killed all of our horses and most of our men.

They have enslaved our cities, burned our fields, and still they wage war.

Now, our daughters take up arms.

Galva - Galvicha to her three brothers, two of whom the goblins will kill - has defied her family's wishes and joined the army's untested new unit, the Raven Knights. They march toward a once-beautiful city overrun by the goblin horde, accompanied by scores of giant war corvids. Made with the darkest magics, these fearsome black birds may hold the key to stopping the goblins in their war to make cattle of mankind.

The road to victory is bloody, and goblins are clever and merciless. The Raven Knights can take nothing for granted - not the bonds of family, nor the wisdom of their leaders, nor their own safety against the dangerous war birds at their side.

But some hopes are worth any risk.

A fraught, shattering fantasy adventure, this standalone novel is set during the war-torn, goblin-infested years just before The Blacktongue Thief.

Industry Reviews

Christopher Buehlman's worldbuilding is second-to-none . . . Galva's story is full of heartbreak and despair, but its darkness is balanced by exquisitely crafted moments that explore the bonds of friendship, sisterhood, and love - Nicholas Eames, author of Kings of the Wyld

A masterful tale of war and loss . . . Achingly beautiful, and once it has you in its grip, it will not let go until you turn that final page - Shauna Lawless, author of The Children of Gods and Fighting Men

The Daughters' War is so exactly what I want in a fantasy novel - Miles Cameron, author of Against All Gods

A work of towering imagination, twists of a razor-honed wit . . . The Daughters' War shows what fantasy can be in the hands of a master - John Hornor Jacobs, author of The Incorruptibles
