Heavenbreaker

Audiobook

Bravery isn't what you do. It's what you endure.
The duke of the powerful House Hauteclare is the first to die. With my dagger in his back.
He didn't see it coming. Didn't anticipate the bastard daughter who was supposed to die with her mother—on his order. He should have left us with the rest of the Station's starving, commoner rubbish.
Now there's nothing left. Just icy-white rage and a need to make House Hauteclare pay. Every damn one of them. Even if it means riding Heavenbreaker—one of the few enormous machines left over from the War—and jousting against the fiercest nobles in the system.
Each win means another one of my enemies dies. And here, in the cold terror of space, the machine and I move as one, intent on destroying each adversary—even if it's someone I care about. Even if it's someone I'm falling for.
Only I'm not alone. Not anymore. Because there's something in the machine with me. Something horrifying. Something . . . more. And it won't be stopped.
Contains mature themes.

      Starred review from April 29, 2024
      Wolf (Send Me Their Souls) launches a new trilogy with this breathtaking epic, masterfully weaving threads of science fiction, fantasy, horror, romance, and mystery into a propulsive coming-of-age story. Six hellish months after the noble father that Synali Woster never met murdered her mother, she finally gets her revenge. It takes a lot of maneuvering for Synali, the child of the squalid Low Ward section of a massive, stratified space station, to get at her father, the Duke of Hauteclare, and she flees the crime scene via one of the giant mech suits that the station’s knights ride into jousting tournaments in space, prepared to go out in a blaze of glory surrounded by rabid fans of the sport. But then something odd happens: she doesn’t lose her match. Her unexpected skills as a mech driver catch the eye of a nobleman from a different house who claims to know of seven other coconspirators who were involved in her mother’s death and offers her a deal: for each joust she wins in his family’s name, he’ll take one of them out. Swept into a whirlwind of intrigue and reluctantly drawn into the elite world of riders, Synali must decide who she can trust. Wolf balances the unflinching action with evocative worldbuilding, considerate characterization, and a thoughtful exploration of the hope found in quiet places. This astonishes. Agent: Caitlin Blasdell, Liza Dawson Assoc.
