The Price of Power

Prince Barodane could not hold back the darkness. Not even in himself. He laid an innocent city in its grave and then died a hero.

In his absence, war whispers across the land.

Power-hungry highborn dispatch spies and assassins to the shadows as they maneuver for the throne, while an even greater threat rises in the South. Monsters and cultists flock to the banners of a mad prophet determined to control reality...and then shatter it.

Destiny stalks three to the brink of oblivion.

A dead prince that isn't dead. Barodane buried his shameful past in a stupor of drugs, drink, and crime. Now, he'd rather watch the world fall apart than wear the crown again.

An orphan with hero's blood who's forced to make a harrowing choice: betray her country or sacrifice her first love.

And a powerful seer who has no choice at all-her grandson must die.

If any of them fails to pay the price...

The cost will be the world's complete annihilation.

Perfect for fans of The First Law, A Game of Thrones, The Five Warrior Angels, Kings of Paradise, and A Land Fit for Heroes.
