Deze epische fantasy-serie volgt het verweven lot van een lang verloren gewaand koninklijk figuur en de toekomst van een imperium. Het duikt in thema's als identiteit, verraad en lotsbestemming, terwijl de protagonist zich door de complexe machinaties van een machtige afkomst beweegt. Lezers zullen geboeid raken door een rijk verbeelde wereld, ingewikkelde personages en een vertelling die de aard van heldendom en vernietiging zelf in twijfel trekt.
The Ruin of Kings begins an extraordinary fantasy adventure. Prophecy and magic combine in a powerful epic of imperial politics, dragons, gods and demons. And a young man discovers his fate will determine the future of an empire.
Kihrin D'Mon is a wanted man after killing the Emperor of Quur - and not in a good way. So he heads for Jorat, to find the fourth person named in prophesy, who will either save or damn the world. He meets Janel Theranon, who claims she already knows him. And she wants Kihrin's help in saving Jorat's capital from a dragon, who can only be slain with his sword's magic. Unwittingly, Kirin also finds himself at the centre of a rebellion.
Can Kihrin save his world, when he might be the greatest threat of all? This sweeping fantasy adventure continues, and will delight fans of Joe Abercrombie, Robin Hobb and Patrick Rothfuss.
What if you were imprisoned for all eternity?The House of Always is the fourth book in Jenn Lyons's epic fantasy series A Chorus of Dragons, which starts with The Ruin of Kings. In the aftermath of the Ritual of Night, everything has changed. The Eight Immortals have catastrophically failed to stop Kihrin's enemies, who are moving forward with their plans to free Vol Karoth, the King of Demons. Kihrin has his own ideas about how to fight back, but even if he's willing to sacrifice everything for victory, the cost may prove too high for his allies. Now they face a choice: can they save the world while saving Kihrin too? Or will they be forced to watch as he becomes the very evil they had all sworn to destroy?
