A powerhouse grimdark fantasy of bloodshed, ambition, and fate, The
House of Sacrifice is the thunderous conclusion to Anna Smith Spark's
Empires of Dust trilogy, which began with The Court of Broken
Knives.
Marith Altrersyr has won. He cut a path of blood and vengeance and
needless violence around the world and now he rules. It is time for
Marith to put down his sword, to send home his armies, to grow a beard
and become fat. It is time to look to his own house, and to produce an
heir. The King of Death must now learn to live.But some things cannot be
learnt.
The spoils of war turn to ash in the mouths of the Amrath Army and soon
they are on the move again. But Marith, lord of lies, dragon-killer,
father-killer, has begun to falter and his mind decays. How long can a
warlord rotting from within continue to win?
As the Army marches on to Sorlost, Thalia's thoughts turn to home and to
the future: a life grows inside her and it is a precious thing - but it
grows weak.
Why must the sins of the father curse the child?
