The Emperor's Blades
Chronicle of the Unhewn Throne · Book 1Description
In a sprawling empire threatened by invasion, three siblings find themselves separated and tested in ways they never imagined. Adare, the emperor's daughter, discovers the shocking truth behind her father's assassination and must navigate treacherous political waters to find allies powerful enough to defend the realm from the nomadic forces massing at its borders. Meanwhile, her brothers face their own trials—one training in a mysterious martial monastery, the other struggling with the weight of unexpected responsibility. As ancient secrets unravel and loyalties are questioned, the fate of the empire hangs in the balance, dependent on whether these fractured heirs can overcome their differences and unite against the gathering darkness. Staveley weaves an intricate tale of political intrigue, martial prowess, and family bonds tested by war and betrayal.
