Summary

Book one of the thrilling new fantasy series from David Wragg, acclaimed author of THE BLACK HAWKS.

She’s on the run. They’re out to kill. But what happens when you catch a hunter?

Ree is a woman with a violent past – a past she thought she’d left behind. After years of wandering, she and her niece Javani have finally built a small life for themselves at the edge of the known world.

But sometimes the past refuses to stay there, and Ree’s is about to catch up with her. This time, there will be blood.

For the land is in turmoil and professional killers have arrived in their town looking for an older woman and child, setting off a desperate chase through deserts, mountains, and mines. Ree will have to discover her former self if she is to keep them both alive.

From a master of modern fantasy comes a new thrilling trilogy, full of intrigue, bloodthirsty stakes – and a heroine who just won’t quit.

Critic reviews

PRAISE FOR DAVID WRAGG:

‘Reminds me of Abercrombie’s THE BLADE ITSELF’
Nicholas Eames, author of KINGS OF THE WYLD

‘Refreshing and entertaining, like a cross between Nicholas Eames and Joe Abercrombie; THE BLACK HAWKS is simply a joy to read’
Peter McLean, author of PRIEST OF BONES

‘Wragg captures the classic fantasy spirit of adventure and exploration, wraps it with stabbed backs and cannibals and gifts it to you on a bed of action’
Ed McDonald, author of BLACKWING

‘Everyone loves a good mercenary tale, but THE BLACK HAWKS offers more besides: a protagonist who's refreshingly rubbish at fighting, a supporting cast who'd be fascinating if they were just standing around in a supermarket, and an author who knows when to dodge cliches, and when to jump in and splash like a kid in a puddle’
Nate Crowley, author of 100 BEST VIDEO GAMES (THAT NEVER EXISTED)

‘Check out THE BLACK HAWKS – it’s full of fun characters, mercenary antics, twists, turns, and contains my favourite fantasy lemon’
Peter Newman, Gemmell Award-winning author of THE VAGRANT and THE DEATHLESS

‘A remarkably assured debut…I can’t wait to see what happens next’
Anna Stephens, author of GODBLIND

Overall, a book that's essentially about the drama relationship between mother and daughter wouldn't normally be my thing but I really enjoyed this one. The brother and sister side characters were just so much fun that I ended up loving the book. I hope there will be a sequel.

Best side characters I've come across in year's!

I read the book as well as downloaded the audible version so that I could listen to it on dog walks. I really couldn't put it down! I was blown away by Sara Powell's narration, she really captured the different characters, better than I had imagined in my head when reading.

The story is fast paced and has you hooked from the start. The good characters are all loveable and the baddies are easy to dislike. There are lots of powerful women in this story and Wragg has managed to write them so that this is normal and nothing remarkable which is so unique.

I'm sad that I've finished the book so fast and cannot wait until the next one.

Fast paced, wild west adventure

One of the better audiobooks I’ve listened to! Story is engaging and easy to follow and the narrator does an amazing job to keep the listener engaged and on their toes! Brilliant listen.

Captivating!

found the book interesting and gripping. although at the very heart of it little happens. i emjoyed the range of characters and the relationships. the narration is good although some accents dont hit the mark for me. glad I listened but dont think I'd bother with audio for the second book.

An interesting book
