Book description
A new queen has usurped the throne and is leading Cenaria into
disaster. The country has become a broken realm with a threadbare army,
little food, and no hope. Kylar Stern plans to reinstate his closest
friend Logan as King, but can he really get away with murder? In the
north, the Godking's death has thrown Khalidor into civil war. To gain
the upper hand, one faction attempts to raise the goddess Khali herself.
But they are playing with volatile powers, and trigger conflict on a
vast scale. Seven armies will converge to save - or destroy - an entire
continent. Kylar has finally learnt the bitter cost of immortality, and
is faced with a task only he can complete. To save his friends, and
perhaps his enemies, he must assassinate a goddess. Failure will doom
the south. Success will cost him everything he's ever loved. Brent
Weeks studied at Hillsdale College, before brief stints walking the
earth like Caine from Kung-Fu, also tending bar, and corrupting the
youth. (Not at the same time.) He started writing on napkins and,
eventually, someone paid him for it. Brent doesn't own cats or wear a
ponytail.
