Description
**The first book in the new fantasy series from the author of Half Bad**
This is the perfect story for fans of Leigh Bardugo and Laini Taylor.
-------------
A princess, a traitor, a soldier, a hunter and a thief.
Five teenagers with the fate of the world in their hands.
Five nations destined for conflict.
In Brigant, Princess Catherine prepares for a political marriage arranged by her brutal and ambitious father, while her true love, Ambrose, faces the executioner's block.
In Calidor, downtrodden servant March seeks revenge on the prince who betrayed his people. In Pitoria, feckless Edyon steals cheap baubles for cheaper thrills as he drifts from town to town.
And in the barren northern territories, thirteen-year-old Tash is running for her life as she plays bait for the gruff demon hunter Gravell.
As alliances shift and shatter, and old certainties are overturned, our five heroes find their past lives transformed and their futures inextricably linked by the unpredictable tides of magic and war.
Who will rise and who will fall? And who will claim the ultimate prize?
******
If you couldn't get enough of The Children of Blood and Bone or The Red Queen, then you need to dive into the world of Brigant.
The first book in a new fantasy series set against a backdrop of warring kingdoms and mysterious magic.
