Behind every great hero is an even greater Aristene.

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Kendare Blake comes a new epic duology following a young woman’s training to shepherd a princely hero to victory. Perfect for fans of Alexandra Bracken and Stephanie Garber.

The Aristene are an elusive order of immortal female warriors. To be championed by them is to become a legend: They are the Heromakers.

As an orphan raised by the order, Reed has always envisioned taking her place beside her sisters-in-arms. To do that, she’ll have to help her first hero accomplish a great victory. But what happens when her charmingly infuriating hero makes her question everything she’s been taught about being an Aristene—and the order itself.
