Publisher Description

An instant USA Today bestseller!

Enter the fray in this luminous new adventure from Christopher Buehlman, set during the war-torn, goblin-infested years just before The Blacktongue Thief.


The goblins have killed all of our horses and most of our men.

They have enslaved our cities, burned our fields, and still they wage war.

Now, our daughters take up arms.


Galva — Galvicha to her three brothers, two of whom the goblins will kill — has defied her family’s wishes and joined the army’s untested new unit, the Raven Knights. They march toward a once-beautiful city overrun by the goblin horde, accompanied by scores of giant war corvids. Made with the darkest magics, these fearsome black birds may hold the key to stopping the goblins in their war to make cattle of mankind.

The road to victory is bloody, and goblins are clever and merciless. The Raven Knights can take nothing for granted — not the bonds of family, nor the wisdom of their leaders, nor their own safety against the dangerous war birds at their side. But some hopes are worth any risk.

“A long look into Galva's life during the war she participated in. Actually a rather sad book on many different levels, there is dead, betrayal and a few things inbetween.”
“I have to admit that I have not read The Blacktongue Thief, so if I was meant to know things that were not spelled out in this book, I shall remain ignorant. This book was not quite the masterpiece that Between Two Fires was to me, but I have enjoyed it a head above the rest of the books I have read in recent memory.”
“Man that’s a lot of content warnings to tap onto this one. I might come back and write a better review for this later, for now all I will say is that Galva Dom Braga could step on me and I would embrace Dal-Gaata’s gift, thank you Mr. Buehlman for this tome of absolute trauma.”
