THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES TOP FIVE BESTSELLER
Waterstone’s Best Books of 2020 pick
‘Moves at a cracking pace and, with neat plot twists and cliffhangers, is page-turning fun’ Guardian
‘A witty, fast-paced feminist space opera’ Booklist
Seven resistance fighters will free the galaxy from the ruthless Empire – or die trying.
When Eris faked her death, she thought she had left her old life as the heir to the galaxy’s most ruthless empire behind. But her recruitment by the Novantaen Resistance, an organization opposed to the empire’s voracious expansion, throws her right back into the fray.
Eris has been assigned a new mission: to infiltrate a spaceship ferrying deadly cargo and return the intelligence gathered to the Resistance. But her partner for the mission, mechanic and hotshot pilot Cloelia, bears an old grudge against Eris, making an already difficult infiltration even more complicated.
When they find the ship, they discover more than they bargained for: three fugitives with firsthand knowledge of the corrupt empire’s inner workings.
Together, these women possess the knowledge and capabilities to bring the empire to its knees. But the clock is ticking: the new heir to the empire plans to disrupt a peace summit with the only remaining alien empire, ensuring the empire’s continued expansion. If they can find a way to stop him, they will save the galaxy.
If they can’t, millions may die.
‘Revels in the frenetic energy of its girl-power infused, space operatic premise’ Publishers Weekly

This first collaboration from Lam (Goldilocks) and May (The Falconer) revels in the frenetic energy of its girl power-infused, space operatic premise
The first book in a duology is a witty, fast-paced, feministspace opera
Each of the characters in Seven Devils is distinct with her own character, personality, backstory, and soul
Unabashedly fun!
Rebellion is bloody business, but necessary - and with an ensemble as memorable as the one you'll find within the pages of Seven Devils...quite a lot of fun, to boot
If you're on the lookout for a smart sci-fi story with a compelling world, sharp dialogue, and a pacy, entertaining plot, featuring kickass women with well-described histories, motivations and development (not to mention queer representation), then look no further than Seven Devils
An enjoyable story with excellent characters
An engrossing and fun space opera. 8/10
