Publisher's Summary

They burned me and mine. I'm not done until I burn them and theirs in return.

Witch hunts have plagued the kingdom of Olyanath for decades. Thousands were slain due to the king’s paranoia of women who practice Senspiritic magic. No more.

Nye and his companions have seen enough of murder and misogyny. Fifteen years have passed since he joined the witch hunters, and now, at long last, an opportunity to destroy them from the inside reveals itself. An opportunity to overthrow the king and end his reign of cruelty. But 15 years of pretense have taken a toll. The strive for vengeance has steered Nye toward a path of violence and villainy. His hands are stained by the blood of countless innocents, his heart is scorched by grief, and his sanity hangs by a thread.

Even if he can kill the king and see this revolution through, it may not suffice to purge the voices from his head.

A beautiful and thoughtful debut

I have a whole video where I read this book and review it in depth on my YouTube channel. You can find it here https://youtu.be/1XGAQWVSQKw


Winds of Strife took me by surprise with the deep discussions on what makes a morally grey character, what fear does to someone, how things affect the world and so many more. I truly just wasn't expecting this story to be so deep. And I'm very happy it was. It reminded me of why I love The Poppy War, Rage Of Dragons and Nomads Of The Sea (by Coby Zucker).

I do think the writing wasn't as technically strong as it could be but was swept away in my enjoyment. The magic system is unique, I did struggle with wanting to know more bounds. As I'm a big fan of super hard magic systems. But loved the idea of harnessing emotions into real power.

I enjoyed the arcs our characters went on and just really had a fun time with this one. I'm excited for more to read it and discuss/theorize for next books!
