Publisher's Synopsis
A Woman of the Sword is an epic fantasy seen through the eyes of an ordinary woman. Lidae is a daughter, a wife, a mother - and a great warrior born to fight. Her sword is hungry for killing, her right hand is red with blood. War is very much a woman's business. But war is not kind to women. And war is not kind to mothers and their sons. "No other writer manages to combine such raw and visceral storytelling with so exquisite a style. A fierce and compelling story of love, life and loss." Adrian Tchaikovsky - Clark Award Winner "This is Anna Smith Spark at her heart-wrenching, mythic-feeling, storytelling best, and completely unmissable for anybody who enjoyed her Empires of Dust Trilogy." Adrian Collins - Editor in Chief Grimdark magazine
