'Intimate and epic' Evan Winter 'An action-packed plot and deep, vivid world-building' Melissa Caruso'Intricate, intimate and intensely plotted' Nicholas Eames 'They called me the Bitch Queen, the she-wolf, because I murdered a man and exiled my king the night before they crowned me.'Born under the towers of Oren-yaro, Queen Talyien inherited a deeply divided kingdom, devastated by years of war. Her marriage to the son of a rival clan was meant to herald peace, yet her fiancé disappeared before their reign could even begin. Now, years later, Talyien receives a message that will send her across on the sea. Yet what was meant as an effort to reconcile the past leaves her stranded in a land she doesn't know, with assassins at her back and no idea who she can trust. If Talyien is to survive, she must embrace her namesake. A wolf of Oren-yaro is not tamed.Further praise for The Wolf of Oren-Yaro: 'Deeply compelling and wonderfully entertaining' Josiah Bancroft 'A powerful new voice in epic fantasy' Kameron Hurley '[A] remarkable tale of non-stop tension, action and betrayal' Publishers Weekly (starred review) 'Balanced on a blade's edge between intrigue and action' Gareth Hanrahan

The Bitch Queen returns in The Ikessar Falcon, the action-packed sequel to K. S. Villoso's acclaimed fantasy debut, The Wolf of Oren-Yaro.Abandoned by her people, Queen Talyien's quest takes a turn for the worse as she stumbles upon a plot deeper and more sinister than she could have ever imagined, one that will displace her king and see her son dead. The road home beckons, strewn with a tangled web of deceit and unimaginable horrors - creatures from the dark, mad dragons and men with hearts hungry for power. To save her land, Talyien must confront the myth others have built around her: Warlord Yeshin's daughter, symbol of peace, warrior and queen and everything she could never be. The price for failure is steep. Her friends are few. And a nation carved by a murderer can only be destined for war.Praise for the series: 'A powerful new voice in epic fantasy' Kameron Hurley'Intricate, intimate and intensely plotted' Nicholas Eames'An action-packed plot and deep, vivid world-building' Melissa Caruso
