• DEAD: with more unflinching action, A FOOL'S HOPE sees Jia's revolutionaries dig in their heels as they learn that wars aren't won in a day. n nWar takes everything. n nFrom Tinnstra, it took her family and thrust her into a conflict she wanted only to avoid. Now her queen's sole protector, she must give all she has left to keep Zorique safe. n nIt has taken just as much from Jia's revolutionaries. Dren and Jax - battered, tortured, once enemies themselves - must hold strong against their bruised invaders, the Egril. n nFor the Egril intend to wipe Jia from the map. They may have lost a battle, but they are coming back. n nIf Tinnstra and her allies hope to survive, Jia's heroes will need to be ready when they do. n nWith more bone-crunching action, tough choices and impossible odds, fans of Joe Abercrombie, Mark Lawrence and Ed McDonald will find something to love in this series. n n* * * * * * * * * * n nTHE LAST WAR nBook
