The country is in turmoil. With the capital city occupied, half a million refugees are on the march, looking for safety on the frontier, accompanied by Lady Flint''s soldiers. But escaping war is never easy, and soon the battle may find them, whether they are prepared or not.

Trade Review
Terrific . . . top-notch fantasy fare * Publishers Weekly (starred review) *
Fast-paced action and memorable characters * Booklist *
The action is exciting, the plot is gripping, and the themes are deep and thought provoking. You can't ask much more of Wrath of Empire, and it is going to be one of the strongest books of 2018 * The Quill to Live *
