The second volume in Mark Lawrence’s Broken
Empire trilogy, King of Thorns, is due from Harper Voyager (£14.99) in August:
“The land burns with the fires of a hundred
battles as lords and petty kings fight for the Broken Empire. The long road to
avenge the slaughter of his mother and brother has shown Prince Honorous Jorg
Ancrath the hidden hands behind this endless war. He saw the game and vowed to
sweep the board. First though he must gather his own pieces, learn the rules of
play, and discover how to break them.
A six nation army, twenty thousand strong,
marches toward Jorg′s gates, led by a champion beloved of the people. Every
decent man prays this shining hero will unite the empire and heal its wounds.
Every omen says he will. Every good king knows to bend the knee in the face of
overwhelming odds, if only to save their people and their lands. But King Jorg
is not a good king.”
