The Broken Crown
Michelle Sagara West
(Author)
Description
The first epic fantasy in the acclaimed Sun Sword series introduces readers to a war-torn world of noble houses divided and demon lords unleashed. "The climactic fireworks are spectacular, and the revelations enticing." --Locus Tor Leonne--the heart of the Dominion of Annagar, where the games of state are about to become a matter of life and death--and where those who seek to seize the crown will be forced to league with a treacherously cunning ally . . . Tor Leonne, ancestral seat of power, where Serra Diora Maria di'Marano--the most sought-after beauty in the land, a woman betrayed by all she holds dear--may strike the first blow to change the future of the Dominion and Empire alike. Averalaan Aramarelas--that most ancient of civilized cities, the home of the Essalieyan Imperial court, has long been a center of magics both dark and bright. And though the Empire won its last war with the Dominion, and survived a devastating, magic-fueled battle with a far deadlier foe, both those victories were not without their cost. But now the realm is on the brink of a far greater confrontation, faced with an unholy alliance that could spell the end of freedom for all mortalkind.
