The Bitch Queen is back in this thrilling sequel to K. S. Villoso's acclaimed debut The Wolf of Oren-Yaro

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description
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
