Rebellion's about the journey, not the destination.
'This explosive trilogy closer is a masterclass in humour and heart; sandwiched around one of the most exciting, non-stop action set pieces in recent memory are emotional beats that destroyed me and quips I wish I could write. David Wragg is everything glorious about modern fantasy.' Ed Crocker, author of Lightfall
'The hilarious and heartbreaking conclusion to The Tales of the Plains brings Ree and Javani's story to an epic, incredible conclusion. Full of all the heart, hope, and horrible deaths you'd expect, with a hefty dose of pathos for good measure. A must read - and must reread - series from a great modern voice in fantasy.' Anna Stephens, author of The Songs of the Drowned
Ree is at war. Determined to free the townships from the Guild's larcenous rule, she can't take her eyes off victory. Not now, with the scent of blood in the air. Not for her consort, not even for her kid.
Javani is ready for her own adventures. She's no longer a child and determined to blaze her own trail, even if that means leaving Ree behind.
With rebellion stirring, the past Ree's been running from and the future Javani's striving for will collide. As tensions rise between mother and daughter, Guild and rebels - and with the fate of the Plains on the line - all that's certain is an explosive finale on the Iron Road.
