One of the Time 100 Best Fantasy Books Of All Time
In the much-anticipated sequel to the "magnificent fantasy epic" (NPR)
Grace of Kings, Emperor Kuni Garu is faced with the invasion of an
invincible army in his kingdom and must quickly find a way to defeat the
intruders.
Kuni Garu, now known as Emperor Ragin, runs the archipelago kingdom of
Dara, but struggles to maintain progress while serving the demands of
the people and his vision. Then an unexpected invading force from the
Lyucu empire in the far distant west comes to the shores of Dara--and
chaos results.
But Emperor Kuni cannot go and lead his kingdom against the threat
himself with his recently healed empire fraying at the seams, so he
sends the only people he trusts to be Dara's savvy and cunning hopes
against the invincible invaders: his children, now grown and ready to
make their mark on history.
