Rendition As Books Hope and Red (Empire of Storms #1)
In a fracturing empire spread across savage seas, two young people from different cultures find common purpose.A nameless girl is the lone survivor when her village is massacred by biomancers, mystical servants of the emperor. Named after her lost village, Bleak Hope is secretly trained by a master Vinchen warrior as an instrument of vengeance.
A boy becomes an orphan on the squalid streets of New Laven and is adopted by one of the most notorious women of the criminal underworld, given the name Red, and trained as a thief and con artist.
When a ganglord named Deadface Drem strikes a bargain with the biomancers to consolidate and rule all the slums of New Laven, the worlds of Hope and Red come crashing together, and their unlikely alliance takes them further than either could have dreamed possible.

I finished this on the train. I almost missed my stop because I was on the last two pages and wouldn't -couldn't!- stop reading. Reluctantly, I had to run and I tripped over someone's feet getting yelled over, but it was totally worth it. Oh, was it worth it.WHAT...WHAT AN EPIC BOOK! Give me Bane and Shadow. NOW!Thoroughly enjoyable fantasy with a woman trained by a master warrior and seeking vengeance for the horrible deaths of her family and a gifted rogue destined for much more than his humble surroundings.The village of Bleak Hope is destroyed in a horrible experiment by biomancers leaving only an eight year old girl as a survivor. Traumatized by the experience she can't even remember her name so that the sailors who find her call her by the name of her village. By chance she is raised by the
yeah pretty good, i liked the characters, i liked the storyline, i liked the language and the setting. key word: liked. i didn't love anything, but i definitely liked the story and thought that it accurately depicted the struggles of that annoying area between right and wrong. good, entertaining material!
This book is really good and different than what I'm used to.The main differences are in the written. The book is really well written but you will find some idioms that the author created and that will seem strange the first time you read it but then you get used to and it's even fun read these idioms.

Really enjoyed this. It starts out as a fairly familiar story of 2 orphans raised in very different circumstances and destined to meet eventually. I enjoyed the salty language of the coastal regions and some of the vocabulary used: Lacies, imps, angel slice, wags.

But what makes this world and story stand out are the
I loved this book. It was a rough and tumble story with a bunch of loveable rogues. Sure they were trouble they stole, they killed and their language was quite crude at times but I found that to be funny because I have a rude sense of humour so that didn't bother me but it may bother some people.Hope as a young girl watches her whole village murdered by biomancers - evil magic villains.So Hope ends up being brought up by some monks most were not happy she was there but their was a couple of very
