The war is over. The enemy won. Now, survival means betrayal, submission, or death.
Jia’s armies have been obliterated, crushed beneath the devastating magic of the Egril. Fear rules the streets, and the last remnants of resistance are fading fast. Tinnstra, once a soldier, is now a deserter and a coward—hiding, surviving, refusing to fight.
But when she’s pulled into a desperate rebellion, Tinnstra is forced to confront the truth: Jia’s last hope lies in those who refuse to kneel. If they fail, their people will be lost forever. If they fight, they might have a chance.
Brutal, fast-paced, and unrelenting, We Are the Dead is Tarantino meets David Gemmell—an explosive, blood-soaked fantasy debut for fans of Joe Abercrombie, Mark Lawrence, and The Black Company.
