A routine mission finds one girl and her fellow warriors fighting for their lives in this action-packed adventure, the first in a new fantasy series perfect for fans of Pierce Brown
and Sabaa Tahir.
When their Republic was ravaged by plague and fell into chaos, a monastic order of girls called the Daughters of Zahra took up arms and became known as Warmaidens. Fifty years later, the plague has passed, and the Republic survived, but the Warmaidens live on, training for battle
since childhood and providing protection to their communities.
When a threat surfaces from the north—a warlord who has proclaimed himself a living god—Roxshana and her Warmaiden sisters embark on an expedition to bolster the northern kingdom. Their expectations of a routine mission are immediately dashed as they find themselves under attack at every turn. Encountering pirates, a dragon, an army, and her own surprising feelings for the northern kingdom’s prince, Roxshana fights for the fate of the Republic...even as misgivings haunt her.
Are Roxshana and her sisters on the right side of history, or are they merely pawns in a sinister political game?

Shadow of the Fallen Star
Maiden of War, Volume 3
Roxshana faces down the Allryks in this edge-of-your-seat final installment of the Maiden of War series
When their Republic was ravaged by plague and fell into chaos, a monastic order of girls called the Daughters of Zahra took up arms and became known as Warmaidens. Fifty years later, the plague has passed, and the Republic survived, but the Warmaidens live on, training for battle since childhood and providing protection to their communities.
Against all odds, Roxshana survives her encounter with the Fallen Star. She awakens, injured, in the Allryks’ camp. Far from home and her Warmaiden sisters, surrounded by an enemy army, Roxshana reckons with how the Fallen Star might have changed her. Her friends, especially King Valamar, urge her to plot an escape—but they are vastly outnumbered, and fleeing would mean certain death. Determined to survive another day and to stop the Allryks’ impending invasion of her homeland, Roxshana infiltrates the controversial king’s inner sanctum with the goal of influencing him or, if all else fails, betraying him. Tension mounts as months go by and the Allryks and his corrupt nobility refuse to alter their plans—and as Roxshana experiences mysterious changes since her encounter with the Fallen Star. But is she powerful enough to take on the god-king?
London, 1967: Sixteen-year-old Kitty Granger has always known that others consider her peculiar. She hates noise and crowds, tends to fixate on patterns, and often feels acutely aware of her surroundings even as she struggles to interpret the behavior of people around her. As a working-class girl in London’s East End, she’s spent her whole life learning to hide these traits. Until the day when she notices the mysterious man on the bus and finds herself following him, driven to know why he seems so out of place…only to accidentally uncover the location of a Russian spy ring.
When Kitty’s keen observation and quick thinking help her survive a dangerous encounter, two secret agents working for Her Majesty’s government offer her a job in their espionage operation.
Kitty's first mission pits her against a conspiracy led by a prominent politician―who's also a secret fascist. With help from an unusual team of fellow spies, Kitty must use her wits, training, and instincts to get out alive. And she might as well save the country while she's at it.
