King of Thorns by Mark Lawrence

The Broken Empire · Book 2 of 3

”To reach greatness you must step on bodies, and many brothers lie trodden in my wake.”

The land burns. A hundred battles rage across the Broken Empire as lords and petty kings tear each other apart. And Prince Honorous Jorg Ancrath has seen the hidden hands behind it all.

He saw the game. He vowed to sweep the board.

A six-nation army. Twenty thousand strong. Marching toward Jorg’s gates, led by a champion beloved of the people – a shining hero every omen says will unite the empire and heal its wounds.

Every decent man prays for this hero’s victory. Every good king knows to bend the knee when the odds are overwhelming.

But King Jorg is not a good king. He cannot win a fair fight. But playing fair was never part of Jorg’s game plan. And the cost of his ambition may yet drown the world in blood.

”Jorg Ancrath is one of the most compelling characters I have ever read. Utterly unforgettable.”
”Mark Lawrence writes darkness like poetry. King of Thorns is even better than Prince of Thorns.”
”The dual timeline broke my brain in the best possible way. I could not put it down.”
