The Hunt is on!
A city burning...
A murderous tycoon on the run...
And three vigilantes out for revenge...
Marcel never thought his investigations would lead to this; his once-friend Lazarus Roache turned slaver and cruel puppet master. For the good of Huile, and to salve his conscience, Marcel must take Roache Down, even if that means following him into the desolate and savage reaches of the Wastes.
Yet when the winds of the Wastes grind their hopes of justice to dust, the three must make common cause with the hardened "Lioness of Vastium," a disgraced Principate general who wants Marcel's head just as much as Roache's. To survive and take down the tycoon, they must find a way to fight as one. But blood begets blood, and old vendettas cannot stay long buried in the blasted soil of the Wastes.

“Part road-trip novel, part fantasy epic, The Lioness and the Rat Queen is a gritty and entertains sequel that skillfully balances humor and drama as it tells a moving story about vengeance and forgiveness. Above all, it's the characters that bring the world alive—from our three complex and layer protagonist to the wonderfully flamboyant and sinister villain.”
– Aatif Rashid (author of Portrait of Sebastian Khan)
“...a smart, unputdownable sequel... Its commentary on corporatism, imperialism, religion, and individualism strikes at the hearts of character who all have their own secrets. Nothing is sacred, and everything is bleak. Yet with revenge on the horizon, hope springs.”
