Why read on Fable?
Publisher 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

“Let me just recover from having my heart ripped out of my chest because I ship way too much [rip my sanity]
The way I just randomly decided I wanted something fast-paced and told in first-person and ended up with a new all-time favorite series like—I fucking love how this turned out for me. This series is so underrated it’s a CRIME I TELL YOU. I have a feeling that book 2 and 3 will be even better and I can’t wait. Give me a book with clever backstabbing and I will eat it up.
I love Asian inspired fantasy but not by default, because it’s so rare to find good world-building. This one has a vivid, complex and imaginative world + intriguing politics and I’m completely in love with how it all plays out. Power dynamics and simple human mistakes add up to create a perfectly delicious mix you don’t want to look away from.
The characters are just as amazing. I quite literally like everyone (except for Yuebek, a bit too cartoonish), even Agos and his aggressive self or Rai… on the other hand, Tali and Khine could step on me and I wouldn’t utter a single word. I’m amazed by their ability of getting out of every situation just by talking and outwitting. Nothing much happens between them but the chemistry is SHOWSTOPPING. That scene in the shed 😭
It’s official, I won’t be thinking about anything else this month except for this series. It’s time to binge these books like there’s no tomorrow.”
