Brilliant: smoothly-written, engaging, and fascinating! Conn Iggulden, the acclaimed author of the bestselling War of the Roses series, presents Three Lands. Each realm is ruled in distinct ways by a decadent immortal elite, driven solely by their pursuit of pleasure and power. These realms exist in complete isolation from one another, unaware of each other's existence. However, there exists a fourth, vast land of mortals. Led by black-eyed priests, the tribes have set aside centuries of hatred to unite under the prophecy of the One: a child savior who defies gender norms. Now, they are ready to conquer the entire world and eradicate the immortals.

Yet, in each of these other worlds, there are individuals who will stand resolutely against the invaders, even at the cost of their own lives. Luck, a malformed god of the Northmen, desperately seeks to relinquish a drug that grants him a clear vision of the entire world, yet erodes his will to fight for it. Ferros, a brilliant warrior recently made immortal, finds himself torn between his newfound immortality and his deep-rooted loyalties and loves. Atisha, the mother of the One, is determined to thwart any plans that have been made for her child's future.

Amidst battles on sea and land, the downfall of empires, and the rise of the Mortals, the Triumph of the One awaits. But will it herald a final darkness, or is there someone who can still save the light? The fate of the world hangs in the balance, as the immortal elite and the Mortals clash in a struggle for supremacy. The stage is set for an epic conclusion that will leave readers breathless and yearning for more.
