The Ikessar Falcon

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
