Publisher Description

"Intimate and epic. It compels you to read on." - Evan Winter, author of The Rage of Dragons

"Villoso's cunning, exciting debut is a new fantasy epic that readers will clamor for." - Library Journal (starred review)

From "a powerful new voice in fantasy" (Kameron Hurley) comes the tale of a queen who must unite her divided land, even if she's hated by the very people she's trying to protect.

"They called me the Bitch Queen, the she-wolf, because I murdered a man and exiled my king the night before they crowned me."

Born under the crumbling towers of her kingdom, Queen Talyien was the shining jewel and legacy of the bloody War of the Wolves. It nearly tore her nation apart. But her arranged marriage to the son of a rival clan heralds peace.

However, he suddenly disappears before their reign can begin, and the kingdom is fractured beyond repair.

Years later, he sends a mysterious invitation to meet. Talyien journeys across the sea in hopes of reconciling their past. An assassination attempt quickly dashes those dreams. Stranded in a land she doesn't know, with no idea whom she can trust, Talyien will have to embrace her namesake.

A Wolf of Oren-yaro is not tamed.

"Intricate, intimate, and intensely plotted." - Nicholas Eames, author of Kings of the Wyld

    — Kameron Hurley, author of The Light Brigade
  • Intimate and epic. It compels you to read on, because it's a story about people not characters, civilizations not settings, and deadly power plays not sanitized throne-room politics.

    — Evan Winter, author of The Rage of Dragons
  • A tale balanced on the blade's-edge between intrigue and action - and then Villoso twists the knife.

    — Gareth Hanrahan, author of The Gutter Prayer
  • Delivers complex and intriguing characters, and an action-packed plot full of surprising twists and deep, vivid world building.

    — Library Journal (starred review)
  • Villoso’s debut has superb world building and complex character development, and never gets overburdened by either.

    — BookPage’s Best Books of 2020
  • Villoso's debut draws on Filipino culture and myths to create a detailed fantasy world and uses the first person narrative of a beleaguered queen to explore a tale of secrets, lies, betrayal, and treason.

    — Booklist
  • K.S. Villoso's The Wolf of Oren-yaro is a fascinating read, driven by a well-drawn cast of characters in a beautifully imagined world.

    — Book Page
  • The Wolf of Oren-yaro is a high-fantasy thrill ride that fans of the genre will appreciate, particularly those thirsting for a strong female main character.

    — Ars Technica
  • K.S. Villoso dismantled the heavily stereotyped strong female character within epic fantasy and built it anew. Queen Talyien is flawed, beautifully so, making her one of the more realistic female characters I've read to date.
