Epic finale to the bestselling Book of the Ancestor series by the master of modern fantasy
Mark Lawrence was born in Champagne-Urbanan, Illinois, to British parents but moved to the UK at the age of one. He went back to the US after taking a PhD in mathematics at Imperial College to work on a variety of research projects including the 'Star Wars' missile defence programme. Returning to the UK, he has worked mainly on image processing and decision/reasoning theory. He says he never had any ambition to be a writer so was very surprised when a half-hearted attempt to find an agent turned into a global publishing deal overnight. His first trilogy, The Broken Empire, has been universally acclaimed as a ground-breaking work of fantasy, and both Emperor of Thorns and The Liar's Key have won the Gemmell Legend award for best fantasy novel. Mark is married, with four children, and lives in Bristol.
‘An excellent writer’
George R.R. Martin ‘Dark, passionate, tense, with a female hero
anyone could relate to–I was utterly fascinated! This is no pretty,
flowery tale, but one of vastly different people struggling to
survive when a hostile government comes to power’
#1 New York Times bestselling author Tamora Pierce ‘This is a book
very distinct from everything that came before; what it has in
common though is a narrative that pulls no punches, and characters
that are beautifully, brokenly, repellently, cleverly human’
Sci-Fi and Fantasy Reviews ‘I had never thought it was possible to
find a greater character than the Emperor Jorg Ancrath. I had never
even slightly considered that there might be a fantasy world out
there toppling that of Τhe Final Empire, and most definitely, I had
never thought that I could love a book more than The Night Angel.
But here we are’
BookNest ‘Any other author is going to have to smack the ball way,
way out of the park to top this read’
