2023 BSFA Award for Best Fiction for Young Readers (nominee)
An electrifying urban fantasy about a family of women warriors, and a girl who will risk everything to save them …
Priscilla Daalman is training to be a Hollow Warrior – an elite monster hunter charged with killing evil beasts from another universe. But first, she has to deal with the Renegades, a rebellious group of outcasts who have declared war on the warriors and are unleashing deadly beasts across the globe.
With everyone under attack by both Renegades and Hollow monsters, Priscilla decides the best way to fight is from within – so she cuts herself off from her girlfriend and family and becomes a spy in the Renegades’ base. It’s a bold plan – and one that doesn’t account for her duplicitous ex-boyfriend, Dominic, being a leader of the rebellious group.
As Priscilla struggles to remain undetected in the Renegade base, she realises Dominic has his own agenda – and she’s part of it. And in order to stop him – and the Renegades – she may have to make the ultimate sacrifice …
Full of breathtaking twists and turns, We Who Are Forged in Fire is the thrilling sequel to We Who Hunt the Hollow, Kate Murray’s debut YA novel that won the Victorian Premier's Literary Award for Young Adults and was shortlisted for the Ampersand Prize and the Readings Prize.
Genre: Young Adult Fantasy
