A War in Crimson Embers cover

FIVE HEROES. NO HOPE. A WAR AGAINST DEVILS.

Once a warrior queen, now a pariah among her own people, Cold Zosia wakes in the ashes of a burning city. Her vengeance has brought her to this - her heroic reputation in tatters, her allies scattered far and wide and her world on the cusp of ruin.

General Ji-Hyeon has vanished into the legendary First Dark, leaving Sullen alone to carry out the grim commands of a dead goddess. The barbarian Maroto is held captive by a demonic army hell-bent on the extermination of the Crimson Empire, and only his protege Purna believes he can be saved.

Zosia must rally her comrades and old enemies one last time for a battle that will prove the greatest of her many legends . . . if anyone lives to tell of it.

A surprising and fun read . . . witty and dark, right from the first line

Drags epic fantasy through the mud - but it does so with wit, wonder and wisdom

A joy to fall into . . . will suit any quest-lover looking for a new addiction

Splendid storytelling, wry humour and unresolved intrigue will leave readers hungry for the sequels
