The Empires Ruin, the first installment in Brian Staveleys captivating Ashes of the Unhewn Throne trilogy, takes storytelling to a truly epic level. Pierce Brown, the acclaimed author of Red Rising, praises The Empires Ruin as a must-read for fans of Game of Thrones, stating that it will captivate readers with its intricate world-building and compelling characters.
Set in the Annurian Empire, The Empires Ruin follows the journey of Gwenna Sharpe, a soldier tasked with restoring the dwindling Kettral, the elite warriors who rode war hawks into battle. The empire is on the brink of collapse, weakened by the failure of the Kenta Gates, which granted instantaneous access to its vast lands. Gwenna must embark on a perilous journey beyond the edge of the known world, to the mythical nesting grounds of the giant war hawks, in a desperate attempt to rebuild the Kettral and save the empire.
The journey through the warped and poisoned land is fraught with danger, and Gwenna must face countless challenges and obstacles. However, if she succeeds, she could return as a champion, rebuild the Kettral to their former numbers, and help save the empire. The gates are also essential to the empires survival, and a monk turned con-artist may hold the key to unlocking them.
What they discover on their journey will change them and the Annurian Empire forever. Deep within the southern reaches of the land, a malevolent force is stirring, threatening to bring the empire to its knees. The Empires Ruin is an epic fantasy masterpiece that will leave readers on the edge of their seats, aching for more. Brian Staveleys storytelling gets more epic with every book, and The Empires Ruin takes it to a whole new level.
