'A book that beats you emotionally senseless, A Woman of the Sword is an intense experience delivered in the way only Anna Smith Spark delivers fiction. It’s grimdark at its finest.


It hurts to read at times, is unputdownable at others. 


This is Anna Smith Spark at her heart-wrenching, mythic-feeling, storytelling best, and just completely unmissable.'


Grimdark Magazine


All men long to see dragons. 

Dream of wonders. 

Hope deep down 

in the depths of their souls

to see wonders 

blaze

and burn

and die.
