Eline is a mother, a wife, and a survivor. But her life is about to change dramatically. Following an act of horrific - if righteous - vengeance, Eline is blackmailed into the service of the Queen's Men. She knows it will be a hard life of violence and fear. But Eline will do what it takes to survive, and to protect her children . . . and if she's lucky, she won't die in the process.
But the Queen's Men aren't just asking her to risk herself. They're asking her to risk everything she knows and loves. And if she fails . . . civil war and the deaths of everyone she loves will be just the beginning.
A stand-alone novel set in the world of the Rose Throne, perfect for fans of Joe Abercrombie and Alex Marshall, featuring an incredible and unforgettable female anti-hero.
A bloody ballad of a book with a wonderfully drawn central character. McLean develops a world where wider politics are always at play, but not always within the grasp of his characters. In Eline he's created a woman more capable than she believes, and much more capable than the people she finds herself working for could ever imagine. McLean has a wonderful ear for the poetry of spoken language, and he deploys it here alongside his trade-mark mayhem and magic. * Anna Smith Spark, author of THE COURT OF BROKEN KNIVES and A SWORD OF BRONZE AND ASHES *
