THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES TOP FIVE BESTSELLER

'Moves at a cracking pace and, with neat plot twists and cliffhangers, is page-turning fun' Guardian

Seven resistance fighters will free the galaxy from the ruthless Empire - or die trying.

After Eris faked her death, she thought she had left her old life as Princess Discordia - heir to the galaxy's most ruthless empire - behind. But joining the Novantaen Resistance, an organisation opposed to the Empire's voracious expansion, throws her right back into the fray.

Resistance fighter pilot Clo has been given a mission: infiltrate an Empire spaceship ferrying deadly cargo to gain vital intelligence. A task made all the more difficult when she's forced to partner with an old enemy - Princess Discordia herself, Eris.

They discover more than they bargained for on the ship: fugitives with first-hand knowledge of the Empire's inner workings. With this information, these women might just bring the Empire to its knees. But the clock is ticking: Eris's brother Damocles, new heir to the throne, plans to disrupt a peace summit with the only remaining free alien people, ensuring the Empire's total domination. Unless this band of unlikely rebels stops him, millions will die . . .

Critics Review

This first collaboration from Lam (Goldilocks) and May (The Falconer) revels in the frenetic energy of its girl power-infused, space operatic premise
Publishers Weekly
The first book in a duology is a witty, fast-paced, feministspace opera
Booklist
Each of the characters in Seven Devils is distinct with her own character, personality, backstory, and soul
The Roarbots
Unabashedly fun!
Pajiba
Rebellion is bloody business, but necessary - and with an ensemble as memorable as the one you'll find within the pages of Seven Devils...quite a lot of fun, to boot
