A. Maclean, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Phoenix Keeper
“A war-torn tale of mythical and mystical beasts and beings, reluctant allies, loyalty and reclamation, godhood, divinity, and complex politics on a backdrop of bleak, merciless violence where characters must battle not only against others but also themselves. Breathtaking, wide-sweeping, and victorious in its execution.” Ai Jiang, author of A Palace Near the Wind
