Jo Walton is the author of The King’s Peace, The King’s Name, and The Prize in the Game. Born and raised in Wales, she lives in Montreal.

"War is a tough subject to do well, but in this gritty, moving second and final book in the saga of Tir Tanagiri, British author Walton makes the strife of civil war not only believable but understandable . . . . Fine work."-Publishers Weekly (starred review)
