The Book of Fallen Leaves
"A sprawling, complex fantasy epic... An impressive debut." --Fonda Lee, author of the NYT bestselling and award-winning Green Bone Saga.
Sen Hoshiakari is an exiled prince of a clan that lost everything in his father's failed rebellion. Deprived of his birthright, Sen is determined to restore his family's lands and honor at any cost. Rui is a peasant girl who saved Sen's life on the night his family were put to the sword. But now, she is adrift and unsure of her place in the world, not knowing that the gods themselves have plans for her ...
As civil war throws the empire into chaos, and demons seek vengeance on the living, Sen and Rui must fight for both their clan and their shared future ... But vengeance demands a bloody price.
"I loved it, and I think that readers in search of family feuds, political savagery, and complex characters on both sides of an epic, unfolding war will love it too." --Nicholas Eames, author of Kings of the Wyld
"The Book of Fallen Leaves is lyrically told, rife with history and political intrigue. This is the rare book that is somehow both vast and intimate--with battles that leap off the page and characters who yearn to do what's right." --Andrea Stewart, author of The Bone Shard Daughter
