Intricate, compelling and vividly imagined, this is the first in a new series that I am hugely excited about. Visceral battles, complex politics and fascinating world-building bring Devin's words to life
A visceral, intriguing, intense and emotionally charged ride. I cannot wait to see where the next book takes us and eagerly await its arrival. I'd strongly recommend this bloody and bold tale to fans of Mark Lawrence [and] George R. R. Martin
This first book in Madson's Vengeance trilogy does not disappoint . . . if you love excellent characterisation in your fantasy, as well as unique magic and a non-western setting, give this one a try
Every single page hooked me . . . An impressive debut
