Praise for the author:

"The beginning of a truly epic tale. Deft worldbuilding and wonderful verbal fencing that is a delight to read. In these pages, you are in the hands of a master." – Ed Greenwood, creator of the Forgotten Realms and internationally bestselling author


"Erin Evans can make the reader care deeply about her characters, offering details and anecdotes, quirks and simple gestures to make those characters so very real. But what makes this book special, even by Erin's lofty goalposts, is the world she weaves around these characters. Detailed and mysterious, a place to explore and relish. Highly recommended!" – R. A. Salvatore, author of "The Legends of Drizzt" and DemonsWars novels


"With unrivaled worldbuilding, a compelling mystery to unravel and a found family that stole my heart a dozen times over, EMPIRE OF EXILES is one of those stories you can truly sink your teeth into. There are so many layers to the world and characters Evans has created. It's a deeply satisfying read, and I know it will stay with me for a long time to come. I can't wait for the next book!" – H. M. Long, author of HALL OF SMOKE
