Summary:
Probably the most anticipated fantasy debut of the entire year. In this thunderously great go through, prophecy and magic combine in an incredible epic of imperial politics, gods and demons.
When destiny calls, there’s no fighting with each other back .
Being a bard’s apprentice, Kihrin grew up with tales of legendary deeds. He also steals, desperate to buy a way out of Quur’s slums. Then he raids the wrong house, he’s proclaimed with a demon and existence will never become the same again.
Kihrin’s plight brings him to the attention of royalty, about The Wreck of Kings: PROBABLY THE MOST Anticipated Fantasy Debut of 2019 who claim him seeing that the lost child of their immoral prince. But far from living the wish, Kihrin’s susceptible to his new family’s ruthless ambitions. However, escaping his jewelled cage just makes matters even worse. Kihrin can be horrified to learn he’s on the centre of an ancient prophecy. And every side – from gods and demons to dragons and mages – need him as their pawn. Those outdated stories lied about a lot of things as well, specifically the myth the hero always wins.
Then again, maybe Kihrin isn’t the hero, for he’s not really destined to save the empire. He’s destined to kill it.
The Ruin of Kings is the first book in Jenn Lyons’s extraordinary series, A Chorus of Dragons.
