Voidwalker is a gorgeous, genre-defying journey through broken worlds. MacLean's prose is addictive, her plotting, deft, her worldbuilding, fascinating and atmospheric. I dove through page after page, glorying in the bloody, beautiful chaos of it all. (Send help, I may now have a thing for antlers) * Brigitte Knightley, author of The Irresistible Urge to Fall for Your Enemy * Against a vivid world shattered by shadow and fear, MacLean's characters blaze fierce, flawed, and unforgettable. Voidwalker is your vicious new obsession * Lyra Selene, author of A Feather so Black * For everyone who wished the beast hadn't turned back into a human . . . MacLean has crafted a unique world that feels at once familiar and yet entirely her own. The characters claw their way into your heart and leash you to their story from the very first page and I'm not sure if I devoured the book or if it devoured me * Hazel McBride, author of A Fate Forged in Fire * Voidwalker is a book that bites back. Utterly unputdownable! I stayed up way too late reading about Fionamara, the ferocious protagonist desperate to hide her soft heartedness; and Antal, whose monstrous nature makes him all the more alluring. Set against the backdrop of a gritty world with a unique magic system, Voidwalker's twists and turns pulled me in, chewed me up, and spit me out - and I couldn't have been more thrilled. Readers searching for a romantasy that feels truly new will adore this book! * Alexandra Kennington, author of Blood Beneath the Snow * Voidwalker devoured me, as entirely as a daeyari devours a sacrifice. This book is deliciously sharp, achingly romantic, and gloriously messy in only the best ways. Feral and flirtatious, it's equal parts teeth and tenderness. Fi and Antal's banter made me laugh, scream, and fall headfirst into the Void. I'd walk between worlds for this book. My new obsession, and easily a new favourite * Mikayla Bridge, author of Of Flame and Fury * Populated by monsters as seductive as sharp teeth at your throat, Voidwalker features deliciously tender depictions of grief and forgiveness. I was enamored by foul-mouthed Fionamara and man-eating Void monster Antal: the biggest Green Flag with antlers across any of the cosmic planes * Sara Omer, author of The Gryphon King * Voidwalker is epic and stunningly original. A fierce heroine, an equally ferocious hero (with a tail!), an exquisitely sexy romance, a fascinating and immersive world... What's not to love? I'm utterly obsessed * Sarah Hawley, author of A Witch’s Guide to Fake Dating a Demon * MacLean hits all the right notes in this rip-roaring romantasy . . . MacLean expertly balances romance and fantasy, keeping up the plot's momentum without skimping on steamy scenes. Monster romance fans should snap this up * Publishers Weekly * A spicy enemies-to-lovers monster romance about a smuggler who finds herself allied with her worst nightmares-and falling for them . . . In this series starter, the lines between predator and prey become blurred in the most delicious ways. With enjoyable characters, relatable themes, and a hot romance, Voidwalker will leave readers pining for the next installment in the Beasts of the Void series * Booklist * From the first page, VOIDWALKER plunged me into a stunningly drawn world of immortal monsters, high-stakes political schemes, and a slow-burn romance with potentially deadly consequences... and it was enormous fun to visit. I simply cannot wait to return! * Rebecca Podos, co-author of HOMEGROWN MAGIC and winner of the Lambda Literary Award. *
