Hawk of the West

by Kylie Quillinan

With her plan to seek justice for the murdered women in tatters, Kassaya joins forces with others who have the same goal. Together they will bring down Pharaoh — or die in the attempt.

As hearts and fates intertwine, Kassaya learns that alliances can be both fragile and treacherous. Betrayed by an ally she never suspected, she faces a choice between life or loyalty.

Set against the grandeur of Egypt’s 20th Dynasty, The Palace of the Ornaments weaves a spellbinding tale of power, passion and peril. For readers of historical fantasy who relish stories of courageous women defying conventions and shaping their own destinies.

5 Things You Didn’t Know About Kylie Quillinan

1. I studied Ancient Greek at university because I wanted to read Homer in his own language.
2. I’m fascinated by miniatures and tiny things, and am building my own dollhouse.
3. I studied to be a journalist because I thought that would provide a more reliable income than writing. I hated it because I wasn’t telling my own stories, only repeating what somebody else had already said.
4. If I wasn’t a writer, I would have been a marine biologist except that I get very, very sea sick. I’m also claustrophobic under water so that was never going to work out.
5. I never ever look into a mirror in a dark room.
