"Breathtakingly triumphant . . . it has become one of my favourite books of all time . . . a gripping, evocative hurricane of emotions that constantly took my breath away" -- NOVEL NOTIONS

"Set in an Asian-inspired world with echoes of ancient China and the Mongol Empire this is a tale that hits all the right spots. Imaginative world building, a pace that builds perfectly to a heart-pounding finale and captivating, believable characters. There's a lot to love here. Highly recommended" -- John Gwynne, author of MALICE
"A complex tale of war, politics and lust for power" -- GUARDIAN
"We Ride the Storm is a whirlwind of a book, action-packed, bloody, brutal, emotional, fast-paced, frenetic and gripping" -- THE TATTOOED BOOK GEEK
