The Warrior Moon

Shefali, a Qorin adventurer of wide renown, and O-Shizuka, the divine warrior empress of Hokkaro, have been bound to each other from the day they were born. Side by side they have fought demon armies, earned a fearsome reputation and ruled an empire.

After their wedding the two were sent into exile. Now a poisonous invasion threatens their world, and it brings them back together. They draw nearer than ever to fulfilling a prophecy that has been generations in the making, and the test ahead is the greatest either has faced.

This is epic fantasy that sets large-scale battle beside a love story between its two heroines. As in the earlier volumes, part of the narrative comes through letters the women write to each other, which keeps the romance at the centre of the war.

The book is the third and final entry in the Their Bright Ascendency trilogy and follows The Phoenix Empress. Anyone new to the series should begin with The Tiger's Daughter, since this volume closes out a story already well under way.
