Hardback
Description
'Thrilling, inventive, and fierce - a tale of chained magic and giant mechs, of malevolent empire and those who stand against it.
Not to be missed' Max GladstoneThere is no escaping the Empire.
Even in death, you will serve. In an Empire run on necromancy, dead sorcerers are the lifeblood.
Their corpses are wrapped in chains and drained of magic to feed the unquenchable hunger for imperial conquest. Born with magic, Arienne has become resigned to her dark fate.
But when the voice of a long-dead sorcerer begins to speak inside her head, she listens.
There may be another future for her, if she's willing to fight for it. Miles away, beneath a volcano, a seven-eyed dragon also wears the Empire's chains.
Before the imperial fist closed around their lands, it was the people's sacred guardian. Loran, a widowed swordswoman, is the first to kneel before the dragon in decades.
She comes with a desperate plea, and will leave with a sword of dragon-fang in hand and a great purpose before her. Blood of the Old Kings begins an epic fantasy adventure in which three strangers fight back against an all-powerful Empire, from award-winning author Sung-il Kim and translated by the highly-acclaimed Anton Hur.
