This is the rare book that is somehow both vast and intimate--with battles that leap off the page and characters who yearn to do what's right."" --Andrea Stewart, author of The Bone Shard Daughter

Reviews
""The Book of Fallen Leaves is the beautifully-wrought story of people shaped by their violent past careening headlong toward an even bloodier future. I loved it, and I think that readers in search of family feuds, political savagery, and complex characters on both sides of an epic, unfolding war will love it too."" --Nioholas Eames, author of Kings of the Wyld
