From the coauthor of the viral New York Times bestseller This is How You Lose the Time War.

Discover the destiny of the Craft in Dead Country, the standalone entry point to Max Gladstone's beloved fantasy epic.

BOOK ONE OF THE CRAFT WARS SERIES

Since her village chased her out with pitchforks, Tara Abernathy has resurrected gods, pulled down monsters, averted wars, and saved a city, twice. She thought she'd left her dusty little hometown forever. But that was before her father died.

As she makes her way home to bury him, she finds a girl, as powerful and vulnerable and lost as she once was. Saving her from raiders twisted by the God Wars, Tara changes the course of the world.

Goodreads review by Jennifer on February 09, 2024

I'm always up for a romp with necromantic lawyers, but this was not quite the romp I wanted. A sequel of sorts to Three Parts Dead, Dead Country is a continuation of Tara Abernathy's story as she returns home for her father's funeral. As home is comprised of people who are provincial, superstitious,......more

Stars: 3 out of 5 I love the world of the Craft that the author so carefully crafted (pun totally intended). However, I didn't love this book as much as I loved the previous ones in the series. It took me a while to figure out why. This book has all the right ingredients: a compelling protagonist (an......more
