The sequel to the darkly fantastic WE ARE THE DEAD: with more unflinching action, A FOOL´S HOPE sees Jia´s revolutionaries dig in their heels as they learn that wars aren´t won in a day.
War takes everything.
From Tinnstra, it took her family and thrust her into a conflict she wanted only to avoid. Now her queen´s sole protector, she must give all she has left to keep Zorique safe.
It has taken just as much from Jia´s revolutionaries. Dren and Jax - battered, tortured, once enemies themselves - must hold strong against their bruised invaders, the Egril.
For the Egril intend to wipe Jia from the map. They may have lost a battle, but they are coming back.
If Tinnstra and her allies hope to survive, Jia´s heroes will need to be ready when they do.
With more bone-crunching action, tough choices and impossible odds, fans of Joe Abercrombie, Mark Lawrence and Ed McDonald will find something to love in this series.
