What We Eat – Seven Recipes for Revolution

The Bear meets Attack on Titan in this exhilarating, food-based epic fantasy filled with high stakes and monster steaks, perfect for fans of Pierce Brown and Jay Kristoff.

He steals the precious ingredients needed to practise recipes at home, but if he’s caught, he’ll be executed.
