Titel: Emperors Blades Auteur: Brian Staveley ISBN: 9781447235828 Conditie: Used Book one in an epic fantasy of intrigue and empire, for fans of George R. R. Martin and Nicholas Eames. When the emperor is murdered, his heir must claim the throne and restore order. But first he'll have to navigate courtly conspiracy, secret assassins and ancient powers. The circle is closing. The stakes are high. And old truths will live again. The Emperor has been murdered, leaving the Annurian Empire in turmoil. Now his progeny must prepare to unmask a conspiracy. His son Valyn, training for the empire's deadliest fighting force, hears the news an ocean away. And after several 'accidents' and a dying soldier's warning, he realizes his life is also in danger. Yet before Valyn can act, he must survive the mercenaries' brutal final initiation. The Emperor's daughter, Minister Adare, hunts her father's murderer in the capital. Court politics can be fatal, but she needs justice. Lastly Kaden, heir to the empire, studies in a remote monastery. Here, the Blank God's disciples teach their harsh ways, which Kaden must master to unlock ancient powers. But when an imperial delegation arrives, has he learnt enough to keep him alive, as long-hidden powers make their move?
