The Wolf of Oren-Yaro
By K. S. VillosoPublisher Description
"Intimate and epic. It compels you to read on." - Evan Winter, author of The Rage of Dragons
"Villoso's cunning, exciting debut is a new fantasy epic that readers will clamor for." - Library Journal (starred review)
From "a powerful new voice in fantasy" (Kameron Hurley) comes the tale of a queen who must unite her divided land, even if she's hated by the very people she's trying to protect.
"They called me the Bitch Queen, the she-wolf, because I murdered a man and exiled my king the night before they crowned me."
Born under the crumbling towers of her kingdom, Queen Talyien was the shining jewel and legacy of the bloody War of the Wolves. It nearly tore her nation apart. But her arranged marriage to the son of a rival clan heralds peace.
However, he suddenly disappears before their reign can begin, and the kingdom is fractured beyond repair.
Years later, he sends a mysterious invitation to meet. Talyien journeys across the sea in hopes of reconciling their past. An assassination attempt quickly dashes those dreams. Stranded in a land she doesn't know, with no idea whom she can trust, Talyien will have to embrace her namesake.
A Wolf of Oren-yaro is not tamed.
"Intricate, intimate, and intensely plotted." - Nicholas Eames, author of Kings of the Wyld

“This girl ate humiliation for breakfast, lunch and dinner my God.....sis risked everything for a deadbeat baby daddy that not only 1) fucked a side piece on their wedding bed 2) never cared about her 3) never provided for her 4) actively hated her 5) dipped the first chance he got with NO explanation but because he glanced at her once or twice it was enough for her to drop everything with NO warnings or sufficient preparations and run off to some hostile country because Rai sent a letter asking to meet up...?? And this is the "bad ass" wolf of Oran-Yaro I'm supposed to root for.....?
This girl was SO weak too like I get it politics and everyone being against her but throughout the whole story sis has not once given these people a reason to respect her at all. Like she never stands up for herself and ignores any criticism of her rule. Several times throughout the story characters after characters disrespect her to her FACE and she takes it!! Not even a little tussel back and forth or nothing. She just runs off tail between her leg and then cry about how weak she is but all for love, right?
Her man was absolute garbage of a person too. By the end of the book I was so angry like he kept blaming her for him walking away for 5 years because she slept with her best friend 3 days before their wedding like MIND YOUU homeboy was raw dogging some nobody on that SAME bed too like sir.....”
