'Highly recommended' John Gwynne

'Madson is an exciting new author in fantasy' Mark Lawrence

'A complex tale of war, politics and lust for power' Guardian

AS AN EMPIRE DIES, THREE WARRIORS WILL RISE. THEY MUST RIDE THE STORM OR DROWN IN ITS BLOOD.

The kingdom of Kisia is divided, held together only by the will of the god-emperor. When an act of betrayal shatters an alliance with the neighbouring land of Chiltae, all that has been won comes crashing down.

Now, as the fires of war spread, a warrior, an assassin and a princess must chase their ambitions, no matter the cost.

War built the Kisian Empire. And now war will tear it down.

A visceral, intriguing, intense and emotionally charged ride. I cannot wait to see where the next book takes us and eagerly await its arrival. I’d strongly recommend this bloody and bold tale to fans of Mark Lawrence [and] George R. R. Martin

Breathtakingly triumphant . . . it has become one of my favourite books of all time . . . a gripping, evocative hurricane of emotions that constantly took my breath away

NOVEL NOTIONS

I loved this book so much it’s almost ridiculous . . . We Ride the Storm is dark fantasy done right. There’s a lot going on and it never stops. It’s also beautiful and deep, with characters that jump off the page. This book really surprised me. I expected to like it. I didn’t expect to love it

BOOKNEST

Intricate, compelling and vividly imagined, this is the first in a new series that I am hugely excited about. Visceral battles, complex politics and fascinating worldbuilding bring Devin’s words to life

Anna Stephens, author of GODBLIND

Set in an Asian-inspired world with echoes of ancient China and the Mongol Empire this is a tale that hits all the right spots. Imaginative world building, a pace that builds perfectly to a heart-pounding finale and captivating, believable characters. There’s a lot to love here. Highly recommended

John Gwynne, author of MALICE

A complex tale of war, politics and lust for power

GUARDIAN

We Ride the Storm is a whirlwind of a book, action-packed, bloody, brutal, emotional, fast-paced, frenetic and gripping

THE TATTOOED BOOK GEEK

With prose that rises above most novels, Devin Madson paints evocative scenes to build an engaging story. Highly entertaining, We Ride the Storm is certainly worth your attention and Madson is an exciting new author in fantasy

Mark Lawrence

Fans of George R. R. Martin’s Song of Ice and Fire series will appreciate the feudal political manoeuvring, shifting alliances, and visceral descriptions of combat and its aftermath in this series
