A tinderbox, three huge hounds within, and an underground kingdom of old magic. Fans of Sarah J. Maas and Holly Black, myth and magic, fairy tales and fantasy will love the dark adventures of the Riven Isles.

Isbet returns home to find the witch who raised her murdered and her prized possession, the Tinderbox, stolen. She discovers a common man has used it to seize the throne-the same who conquered Prince Bram's kingdom. Isbet's goals are vengeance and reclaim the Box. For Bram, it is to free his homeland.

Editorial Reviews

Foreword Reviews

"Tinderbox is a riveting tale about personal strength and hidden magic."

Publishers Weekly

"Simpson sticks the landing with an epic conclusion. Fans of Andrea Hairston’s Master of Poisons and other secondary world fantasy will enjoy this expansive magical adventure."

Jacey Bedford

'A grisly murder, a missing box, a dangerous task, and a cranky magical talisman. Expect betrayals, intrigue, peril, and romance in this smartly moving fantasy.'

Million Pages

"Tinderbox is a refreshing read and [...] very well-paced and it’s filled with wonderful descriptions. I also like the characters and the plot itself. One thing that I also love is the title which makes the book unique. I believe that readers who enjoy fantasy and adventure will enjoy this book."

Booklist

"This promising debut features strong world building and well-developed systems of magic. It will appeal to readers of Kacen Callender’s Queen of the Conquered (2019), N.K. Jemisin’s The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms (2010), and L. Penelope’s Song of Blood and Stone (2018)."

Troy Carrol Bucher

"W.A. Simpson begins with a simple tale of revenge and quickly weaves a grand adventure bound together with the threads of fairy tales and fey creations...where possessed staffs speak, wil-o-wisps roam, and Jack’s giant vine protects the world both above and below.
