All You Need is Kill meets Kill the Farm Boy in this hilarious fantasy novel where a young woman stuck in a time loop tires of defending humanity from the Dark Lord and decides to become the Dark Lord herself

Standing on opposite sides of a looming civil war, two siblings discover that not even ties of blood will keep them from splitting the world in two in the second instalment in Django Wexler's epic new fantasy series.

From the author of the epic Shadow Campaigns saga comes a new action-adventure sci-fi series set in a dangerous world in which one must fly--or die . . . When his older sister, Quedra Sa-Yool, was brought down by her political enemies, ne'er-do-well and pilot extraordinaire Zham followed her into exile. Quedra, a military genius once known as the Diamond Knife, now commands the mercenary airship Last Stop and its motley crew, and Zham leads its tiny air wing--when he's not roistering in bars and dodging moneylenders, that is. The one thing keeping this ragged outfit together (besides Quedra's blistering stare) is everyone's desire to survive on the edge, even if that means smuggling, battling pirates, and flying too close to the solid floor of clouds known as the Layer, below which the merciless insectoid mantids hold sway. Indeed, few who dare to venture there ever return . . . But when the Last Stop is enlisted to search for a lost expedition that may have discovered a haven for humans beneath the Layer, it's the chance of a lifetime. What awaits Zham and team at the end of this dangerous mission might just change their lives--and their world--forever. Then again, it might mean the end of both. Last Stop is the first book of a thrilling new series from the critically acclaimed creator of Burningblade & Silvereye and the Forbidden Library--perfect for fans of Firefly.

She's done being the hero and done being stuck in this endless time loop. If the Dark Lord always wins, then maybe that's who she needs to be. It's Davi's turn to play on the winning side.'A darkly comic delight of a novel' Anthony Ryan'Twisty, pacey and full of reverent irreverence for fantasy. I can't get enough' Max Gladstone'A brash swords-and-satire romp that draws you into its rollicking adventure even as it pokes fun at the whole genre. Gamers in particular will appreciate the irreverent upending of classic roleplaying tropes' James L. SutterTakes the old saying 'If you can't beat 'em, join 'em,' to the next level. A sarcastic, action-packed, intrigue-filled (mis)adventure. One of the funniest books I've read in a long time' Matt Dinniman'Lord of the Rings crossed with Groundhog Day, narrated by a gender-flipped Deadpool' Mike Brooks
