Greg Cox - Author
This is a steampunk-tinged fantasy adventure about identity, political danger and survival. Its strongest appeal is likely Riese herself: capable, resistant to expectations and drawn towards action rather than courtly duties.

Sign in for personalised guidanceThis is a steampunk-tinged fantasy adventure about identity, political danger and survival. Its strongest appeal is likely Riese herself: capable, resistant to expectations and drawn towards action rather than courtly duties.
Riese is a princess expected to perform a conventional royal role, but prefers hunting, roaming and combat, including disguising herself as a servant.
The Sect offers assistance to Eleysia while ruling territory and using captured girls for reproduction; Riese distrusts its emissary.
The narrative alternates between Riese's earlier royal life and a later journey through a damaged countryside, while the earlier story is known to end unhappily.
Pay particular attention to the treatment of power: a religious sect controls territory, exploits girls for reproduction and becomes entangled with royal politics. Sexual content, graphic battles and invented swearwords are also noted.
This is a grounded book brief while Suitabook strengthens the analysis: some draft conclusions still depend on unresolved evidence.
