Synopsis
The incredible story that fans of The Sun Sword series have been waiting to read-the battle for control of House Terafin-from a writer of "talent and depth."*
Orphaned and left to fend for herself in the slums of Averalaan, Jewel Markess- Jay to her friends-meets an unlikely savior in Rath, a man who prowls the ruins of the undercity. Nursing Jay back to health is an unusual act for a man who renounced his own family long ago, and the situation becomes stranger still when Jay begins to form a den of other rescued children in Rath's home. But worse perils lurk beneath the slums: the demons that once nearly destroyed the Essalieyan Empire are stirring again, and soon Rath and Jay will find themselves targets of these unstoppable beings.

Review
Praise for the House War:
"In a richly woven world, and with a cast of characters that ranges from traumatized street kids to the wealthy heads of the most prominent houses in Averalaan, West pulls no punches as she hooks readers in with her bold and descriptive narrative." --Quill & Quire
"This story will go down as one of the best novels in its genre, propelling West into the ranks of Robin Hobb and George R.R. Martin." --The Maine Edge
"West is growing into a superb storyteller, as demonstrated by this best effort to date, with a fully realized world populated by a diverse range of nicely developed characters and a compelling storyline that hooks readers in from the start." --Monsters and Critics
"I really like the way West draws the characters, making them, even the children memorable. A lot of untold riches are implied here, and I'm waiting eagerly for sequels." --Philadelphia Center City Weekly Press
"This is a fantastic epic fantasy filled with intrigue and mystery that fans of Kate Elliot will apprecaite." --Alternative Worlds
