STORMDANCER IS COMING! FREE 3 CHAPTER EXTRACT & GIVEAWAY

STORMDANCER is the first novel by Jay Kristoff and number one in his Lotus War trilogy. It’s an astounding and original fantasy set in a Japanese-inspired steampunk dystopia starring Yukiko, destined to be one of fantasy literature’s most inimitable, kick-ass, completely memorable protagonists. And did we mention the griffin?

Less from me and more from Patrick Rothfuss and Scott Westerfeld:

‘What’s that? You say you’ve got a Japanese Steampunk novel with mythic creatures, civil unrest, and a strong female protagonist? I’m afraid I missed everything you said after “Japanese Steampunk”. That’s all I really needed to hear.’ Patrick Rothfuss, THE NAME OF THE WIND and THE WISE MAN’S FEAR.

‘With airships, demons, and lashings of revolutionary swordplay, this chi-fueled vision of a steampunk feudal Japanwill blow your split-toed socks off.’ Scott Westerfeld, LEVIATHAN

Hear, hear gentlemen!
