Bloody rose is a 2018 women soldiers book written by Nicholas Eames.
In Grandual, mercenary crews tour like rock bands, playing arenas packed with monsters instead of fans. Tam Hashford pours drinks in her father's tavern and dreams of the road.

Their leader is Bloody Rose, brilliant and reckless, chasing one last contract that could make the crew legends or corpses. Nicholas Eames returns to the world of Kings of the Wyld with the same swagger, banter, and bruised heart, told this time through the wide eyes of a rookie on tour.

A few thoughts on Bloody rose
The band-of-monster-hunters-as-rockstars energy is pure Brutal Legend, the game where heavy metal literally raises armies. For the swagger, the contracts, and the monster-slaying craft, play The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, and for a shy kid swept into a louder, cooler crew, watch Scott Pilgrim vs. the World.
Mercenary crews who trade insults as often as blows
Fable tours Grandual like a rock band, and the crew still argues like an old married unit between contracts. Kings of the Wyld, The Red Knight and Return of the Crimson Guard all follow companies of hardened fighters who bicker, drink and still cover each other's backs, while The Dirty Dozen and The Witcher 3 carry that same paid-to-fight camaraderie to screen and controller.
Fierce women leading armies of their own making
Rose leads Fable on reckless nerve alone, chasing one more legendary contract before age or sense catches up. Dangerous Women, The Ninth Rain, The Ladies of Mandrigyn and Lioness Rampant all put a woman with that same stubborn grit in charge of the fighting, while Fourth Wing, The Crown of Gilded Bones, The War of Two Queens and Amazons carry the same defiant energy across page and screen.
Epic fantasy wars with sprawling multi-book casts
Bloody Rose treats Grandual like a lived-in world with decades of old grudges between rival bands. House of Chains, Divided Allegiance, Dragonfly Falling, Heirs of the Blade and Bloodmarked share that same appetite for sprawling factions and long campaigns, while Queen Macbeth brings a similar scale of court plotting and battlefield stakes to a historical setting.
