"Halfheart is a mind-bending epic of a book with its bombastic action, visceral worldbuilding, and narrative devices that leave you constantly on edge about everything you're being told. Every character shines and intrigues, particularly its protagonist Mordrena, an aging but battle-hardened mercenary who's equal parts tough as nails and heartbreakingly vulnerable. One of the greatest storytellers of our generation, Linden A. Lewis blows me away every time."

– Xiran Jay Zhao, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Iron Widow

"I loved Halfheart's mix of genuine grief, anger and emotion clashing against these nigh-insurmountable mythic forces that warp and dominate the setting. Sublime in every sense of the word."

– Gareth Hanrahan, author of The Dungeon Book

"Visceral, vulnerable, and beautifully crafted, Halfheart is the kind of richly-imagined fantasy that makes writers long to write and readers yearn for more. Lewis's razor-sharp prose cuts to the heart of grief and explores just how immeasurably love and loss transform us. An incomparable standalone."

– Linsey Miller, author of That Devil, Ambition
