Shogun meets Game of Thrones in the blockbuster epic fantasy event of the year
'Family feuds, political savagery and complex characters on both sides of an epic, unfolding war . . . I loved it' Nicholas Eames

'A sprawling, complex fantasy epic that builds toward a brutal finale'

Fonda Lee

Sen Hoshiakari is an exiled prince of a clan that lost everything in his father's failed rebellion. Deprived of his birthright, Sen is determined to restore his family's lands and honour at any cost.

Rui is a peasant girl who saved Sen's life on the night his family were put to the sword. But now, she is adrift and unsure of her place in the world, not knowing that the gods themselves have plans for her.

As civil war throws the empire into chaos, and demons seek vengeance on the living, Sen and Rui must fight for both their clan and their shared future . . .

But vengeance demands a bloody price.

Debut author A. S. Tamaki weaves a powerful tale of ambition, vengeance and sacrifice in this masterful fantasy retelling of an ancient Samurai saga, packed with memorable characters, stunning worldbuilding and epic adventure

'The Book of Fallen Leaves is lyrically told, rife with history and political intrigue . . . a book that is both vast and intimate - with battles that leap off the page and characters who yearn to do what's right'

Reviews for The Book of Fallen Leaves: Book One of the Autumn Empire

The Book of Fallen Leaves is the beautifully-wrought story of people shaped by their violent past careening headlong toward an even bloodier future. I loved it, and I think that readers in search of family feuds, political savagery, and complex characters on both sides of an epic, unfolding war will love it too -- Nicholas Eames The Book of Fallen Leaves is lyrically told, rife with history and political intrigue. This is the rare book that is somehow both vast and intimate - with battles that leap off the page and characters who yearn to do what's right -- Andrea Stewart
