About this eBook
An instant USA Today bestseller!
Enter the fray in this luminous new adventure from Christopher Buehlman, set during the war-torn, goblin-infested years just before The Blacktongue Thief.
The goblins have killed all of our horses and most of our men.
They have enslaved our cities, burned our fields, and still they wage war.
Now, our daughters take up arms.
Galva — Galvicha to her three brothers, two of whom the goblins will kill — has defied her family’s wishes and joined the army’s untested new unit, the Raven Knights. They march toward a once-beautiful city overrun by the goblin horde, accompanied by scores of giant war corvids. Made with the darkest magics, these fearsome black birds may hold the key to stopping the goblins in their war to make cattle of mankind.
The road to victory is bloody, and goblins are clever and merciless. The Raven Knights can take nothing for granted — not the bonds of family, nor the wisdom of their leaders, nor their own safety against the dangerous war birds at their side. But some hopes are worth any risk.

"The Daughters' War is a gripping and emotional tale of war, loss, and the resilience of the human spirit. Buehlman's world-building is rich and immersive, and his characters are complex and relatable. The story of Galva and the Raven Knights is both heartbreaking and inspiring, as they fight against overwhelming odds to protect their homes and families. The novel doesn't shy away from the brutality of war, but it also celebrates the bonds of friendship and the power of hope
