What to expect

Red Sonja, the iconic, fiery, she-devil with a sword, is reinvented for a new generation of readers in this action-packed epic fantasy by legendary comic book writer Gail Simone. Narrated by Felicia Day!
 
The gutsy, wild, tortured free spirit, forged in pain yet unafraid of life or death, Red Sonja, the famous, fiery She-Devil and barbarian of Hyrkania has never concerned herself with the consequences of her actions. She’s taken what she wanted, from treasure to drink to the companionship of bedfellows. She’s fought who deserved it (and sometimes those who didn’t). And she’s never looked back.
 
But when rumors start bubbling up from her homeland—rumors of unknown horrors emerging from the ground and pulling their unsuspecting victims to their deaths—and a strange voice begins whispering to her in her sleep, she realizes she may have to return to the country that abandoned her. And finally do the only thing that has ever scared her: confront her past.

Critics Review

"Fierce and fascinating. This is the story Red Sonja has always deserved. Unmissable."—Felicia Day
"Gail Simone writes like a storm gathering. Thunder is coming!"
 —John Scalzi
"I'm always thrilled by the freshness and clarity of Gail Simone's thought, the inventiveness of her imagination, and the power of her insights--but most of all, by her power to entertain in story after story."
 —Joe Hill, author of The Fireman
“Everything Gail Simone writes — every world she explores, every character she brings life too — is infinitely improved."—Patton Oswalt
"Gail Simone is poised to become the writer of Red Sonja just as Robert Jordan became the writer of Conan."—Mercedes Lackey

“Veteran comics writer Simone’s triumphant debut novel … quickly immerses readers in a lush fantasy world. … Simone leavens the frequent violence with humor and makes her heroine feel simultaneously larger-than-life and deeply human. The result is an exciting new chapter for a cult-favorite character.”

—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"Gail Simone has that rare and precious ability to grant humanity and empathy to gods."
 —Shannon Tindle, director of Kubo and the Two Strings
"Gail Simone has won comics. And now she has come after novels. I'm not sure how I feel about that."—Chelsea Cain, New York Times bestselling author
"Gail brings steel-set intensity and fierce emotion to Sonja's latest stirring adventure."
 —Jim Zubkavich
"Gail Simone has the uncanny ability to inject humor and heart into characters who can kick your ass. An epic debut novel from one of the most entertaining writers on the planet."—Tom Taylor
