The Daughters' War
Christopher Buehlman
(Author)
Description
Enter the fray in this luminous new adventure from Christopher Buehlman, set during the war-torn, goblin-infested years just before The Blacktongue Thief.
The goblins have killed all of our horses and most of our men. They have enslaved our cities, burned our fields, and still they wage war. Now, our daughters take up arms. Galva -- Galvicha to her three brothers, two of whom the goblins will kill -- has defied her family's wishes and joined the army's untested new unit, the Raven Knights. They march toward a once-beautiful city overrun by the goblin horde, accompanied by scores of giant war corvids. Made with the darkest magics, these fearsome black birds may hold the key to stopping the goblins in their war to make cattle of mankind. The road to victory is bloody, and goblins are clever and merciless. The Raven Knights can take nothing for granted -- not the bonds of family, nor the wisdom of their leaders, nor their own safety against the dangerous war birds at their side. But some hopes are worth any risk. Also by Christopher BuehlmanThe Blacktongue Thief

Reviews
Praise for The Blacktongue Thief:
"Dazzling. I heartily recommend this one."--Robin Hobb, New York Times bestselling author of the Farseer Trilogy "Chock-full of wry wit, foul language, and characters who arrive on the page with savage, sordid pasts hot on their heels. Often humorous, occasionally horrifying, and sometimes incredibly poignant, I love every single page of this book. Every sentence, even. It's that good."--Nicholas Eames, author of Kings of the Wyld "A delight from start to finish. Buehlman takes the well-worn tropes of fantasy and weaves them into a new and vibrant tapestry."--Anthony Ryan, New York Times bestselling author of Blood Song "Fast and fun and filled with crazy magic. I can't wait to see what Christopher Buehlman does next."--Brent Weeks, New York Times bestselling author of the Lightbringer series "Hardly since The Lies of Locke Lamora have I been so impressed with a fantasy debut... The Blacktongue Thief is a bonafide instant classic, and I sure as hell can't wait to see what Buehlman comes up with next."--Grimdark Magazine
