A lawyer by training and a black belt in ju-jitsu, Sam Hawke lives in Canberra. Her first novel, City of Lies, received international acclaim and won the Ditmar Award for Best Novel, jointly won the Aurealis Award for Best Fantasy Novel and the Norma K Hemming Award, as well as earning Sam a nomination for the Astounding Award for Best New SFF Writer for the 2020 Hugos. Hollow Empire continues her Poison War series.
A masterpiece of intrigue and mystery with a nameless, faceless
enemy hellbent on destruction. I loved it.
Utterly brilliant . . . The Poison Wars novels contain some of the
best world-building I've ever read, a wonderful sibling bond unlike
anything in fantasy, all wrapped together in a mystery I couldn't
put down. Highly recommend!
A richly textured tale of old treachery and new intrigue . . . Fans
will savour Hawke's well-shaded characters, the lavish descriptions
of their fictional world, and Hawke's acute analyses of self-doubt,
guilt, discrimination, and recrimination. This is a political epic
done right

*CANBERRA TIMES*
Moments that truly made me want to cry . . . others that had me at

100000% . . . one of my favourite series of all time. My rating:
5/5 stars
*CHAININTERACTION*
Hawke's exemplary prose thrusts readers directly into the action,
both physical and magical, building tension and excitement until
the final pages.
*LIBRARY JOURNAL*
The world building is truly extraordinary . . . an edge of the seat
finale . . . the writing is beautiful . . . it encompasses the best
of all reading worlds and is both evocative and intelligent - with
an added dose of page turning quality that will see its 500+ pages
fly by if you let them. Highly recommended
*LIZLOVESREADING*
I highly recommend Hollow Empire . . . an incredible sequel, worth
every second of waiting. It showcases one of the best (and local!)
voices in fantasy. If you want a diverse, character driven story
with exquisite world building and characters you would lay down
your life for, do yourself a favour and pick up these books
