The Ruin of Kings

Everything epic fantasy should be: rich cruel gorgeous brilliant enthralling and deeply deeply satisfying. I loved it. (Lev Grossman author of The Magicians)Jenn Lyons begins the Chorus of Dragons series with The Ruin of Kings an epic fantasy audiobook about a man who discovers his fate is tied to the future of an empire. When destiny calls there's no fighting back. Kihrin grew up in the slums of Quur a thief and a minstrel's son raised on tales of long-lost princes and magnificent quests. When he is claimed against his will as the missing son of a treasonous prince Kihrin finds himself at the mercy of his new family's ruthless power plays and political ambitions. Practically a prisoner Kihrin discovers that being a long-lost prince is nothing like what the storybooks promised. The storybooks have lied about a lot of other things too: dragons demons gods prophecies and how the hero always wins. Then again maybe he isn't the hero after all. For Kihrin is not destined to save the world. He's destined to destroy it. Library Journal Best Books of the Year - 2019 Kirkus Reviews Best Books of the Year - 2019
