Book Synopsis

AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

The award-winning DC Icons story of the world's greatest super hero: WONDER WOMAN by the # 1 New York Times bestselling author LEIGH BARDUGO.

You'll enjoy this book whether you're a fan of Wonder Woman comics, the Wonder Woman movie, Leigh Bardugo, or just YA lit in general. --Hypable

She will become one of the world's greatest heroes: WONDER WOMAN. But first she is Diana, Princess of the Amazons. And her fight is just beginning. . . .
Diana longs to prove herself to her legendary warrior sisters. But when the opportunity finally comes, she throws away her chance at glory and breaks Amazon law--risking exile--to save a mere mortal. Even worse, Alia Keralis is no ordinary girl and with this single brave act, Diana may have doomed the world.

Alia just wanted to escape her overprotective brother with a semester at sea. She doesn't know she is being hunted. When a bomb detonates aboard her ship, Alia is rescued by a mysterious girl of extraordinary strength and forced to confront a horrible truth: Alia is a Warbringer--a direct descendant of the infamous Helen of Troy, fated to bring about an age of bloodshed and misery.

Together, Diana and Alia will face an army of enemies--mortal and divine--determined to either destroy or possess the Warbringer. If they have any hope of saving both their worlds, they will have to stand side by side against the tide of war.

Feminism is the invisible jet powering this literary revamp of the Amazon princess. --The New York Times Book Review

Warning: This novel about the young super hero crossing paths with a seemingly ordinary--but seriously powerful--girl may result in multiple fist pumps. --Seventeen

Review Quotes

A Boston Globe Best of the Year Book
A CCBC Choices 2018 Best of the Year Selection
2018 YALSA Teens' Top Ten Nominee

Cinematic battles and a race against time keep the excitement high, but the focus on girls looking out for each other is what makes this tie-in shine.
--Kirkus Reviews, STARRED REVIEW

All readers will definitely be delighted by Bardugo's cinematic delivery and long for more stories about this epic, ass-kicking heroine.
--VOYA, STARRED REVIEW

A hero's journey times two. Alia taps into her own bravery and Diana learns about sexism, racism and something the Amazons have always dismissed: the courage, resilience and ingenuity of mere mortals.
―The New York Times Book Review

"Bardugo breathes zippy new life into the story with a twisty plot, whip-smart characters, and her trademark masterful writing."
--Booklist

Wonder Woman is the epitome of a kick-butt heroine, and Bardugo does her justice with aplomb.
--The Bulletin

Bardugo's Wonder Woman: Warbringer not only synthesizes a coherent origin and mission statement for Diana, but also makes the Amazon princess feel so fresh that she could have been created yesterday. . . . One of the best Wonder Woman stories ever.
--Tor.com

Warbringer is straight-up dazzling, every sentence waking up your senses with a 'Yeah, that's right, this is BRAND-NEW, SUCKAS!' punch.
--LIBBA BRAY, New York Times bestselling author of The Diviners
