"Praise for Stories of the Raksura, Volume One and The Books of the Raksura ""Breathtakingly surprising and fun. Wells is a master worldbuilder.”—The New York Times “Wildly original world-building, diverse and engaging characters, and a thrilling adventure plot. It’s that rarest of fantasies: fresh and surprising, with a story that doesn’t go where ten thousand others have gone before.“—N. K.
