The Empire Wars is a powerful new YA fantasy in which magic may be a young woman's only hope for survival.

Coa, who was born feral in the North Transatlantic wilds, has been captured. Now, Coa is subject to public humiliation and execution in a gruesome spectacle known as the Great Hunt.

If participators die in the Great Hunt, their entire families will be executed-in front of everyone. The nationalist regime known as the Allied Force will not rest until all foreigners are exterminated. Coa's best hope of survival might be Princess Ife-born of privilege but newly married into the authoritarian lineage.

Her riskier choice is an alliance with a gorgeous, cunning fellow participator, marked as a traitor to his militarized nation. Coa entangles herself with the captivating young man but soon finds he could be her ultimate downfall ...
