Beskrivelse

'The world-building is out of this world and the magic-system is f***ing great. So much different magics. MIND. BLOWING' ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

'It has an intricate plot, political maneuvering, and tragic events that Robin Hobb's fans would love' ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

My name is Wen Alder. My name is Foolish Cur.

All my life, I have been torn between two legacies: my father's, whose family trace their roots back to the right hand of the Emperor. My mother's, whose family want to bring the Empire to its knees.

I can choose between them - between the safety of empire or the freedom of rebellion - or I can seek out a better path . . . one filled with magic and secrets, unbound by suffocating legacy, but one which could shake my world to its very foundation.

For my quest will bring me face to face with the gods themselves. And they have been watching. Waiting to make their move . . .

Assassin's Apprentice meets Mistborn in this epic fantasy adventure. With an evil empire, a magical academy, conflicted loyalties, and incredible twists and turns, The Hand of the Sun King is perfect for fans of Robin Hobb, Brandon Sanderson and R.F. Kuang.
