With Gods dabbling in the lives of men, beasts roaming the land, and nations ripe for a takeover, it’s a dangerous time to be the Kingmaker – the most coveted diplomatic weapon in the realms. Their explosive first meeting leads to danger, intrigue, magic, monsters and soul-stirring romance. In A Promise of Fire, the two cultures collide in the form of Cat and Griffin, a smart-mouthed soothsayer and a determined warlord. In the dusty, magic-deprived south, muscle and cunning decide who lives or dies.

In the icy north, where magic is might, capricious royals rule with cold hearts and iron fists. Welcome to the world of the Kingmaker Chronicles! It’s a place where the meeting of eyes across a crowded space can shape the course of lives and change the destiny of kingdoms. ‘We found it, the next brilliant series that everyone is looking for’ – Us ‘Give this to your Game of Thrones fans’ – Booklist, starred review I cannot remember the last time I wanted to both savour and devour a book’ – Smart Bitches, Trashy Books ‘I want more of these characters and I want more of this world.
