VersandkostenfreiThe Ruin of Kings begins an extraordinary fantasy adventure in which a young man discovers his fate will determine the future of an empire.
WHEN DESTINY CALLS
THERE'S NO FIGHTING BACK
As a bard's apprentice, Kihrin grew up on heroic tales. Yet he also steals, desperate to escape Quur's slums. And when he raids the wrong house, he's marked by a demon, and life will never be the same again.
Kihrin's plight attracts royalty, who claim him as their immoral heir's lost son. However, far from living the dream, Kihrin's embroiled in his new family's ruthless schemes. Escaping just makes matters worse, as Kihrin is horrified to discover he features in an ancient prophecy. Every side - from gods to demons to dragons - wants him as their pawn. And maybe Kihrin isn't even the hero, for he's not destined to save the empire. He's destined to destroy it.
'Everything epic fantasy should be . . . brilliant, enthralling and deeply, deeply satisfying'
LEV GROSSMAN
'A fantastic page-turner . . . I loved it'
JOHN GWYNNE
'It's impossible not to be impressed . . . a larger-than-life adventure'

What an extraordinary book. The Ruin of Kings is everything epic fantasy should be: rich, cruel, gorgeous, brilliant, enthralling and deeply deeply satisfying. I loved it Lev Grossman, author of The Magicians
