It
is
the
richest
empire
the
world
has
ever
known,
and
it
is
also
doomed--but
only
one
man
can
see
it.
Haunted
by
prophetic
dreams,
Orhan
has
hired
a
company
of
soldiers
to
cross
the
desert
to
reach
the
capital
city.
Once
they
enter
the
palace,
they
have
one
mission:
kill
the
emperor,
then
all
those
who
remain.
Only
from
the
ashes
can
a
new
empire
be
built.
The
company
is
a
group
of
good,
ordinary
soldiers
for
whom
this
is
a
mission
like
any
other.
But
the
strange
boy
Marith
who
walks
among
them
is
no
ordinary
soldier.
Though
he
is
young,
ambitious,
and
impossibly
charming,
something
dark
hides
in
Marith's
past--and
in
his
blood.
Dive
into
this
new
fantasy
series
for
readers
looking
for
epic
battle
scenes,
gritty
heroes,
and
blood-soaked
revenge.

Recenzii
"It's

An

and
fascinating
to
discuss
afterwards!"—Mark
Lawrence

"Gritty and glorious! A great read."—Miles Cameron, author of The Traitor Son Cycle
"Fierce, gripping fantasy, exquisitely written; bitter, funny, and heart-rending by turns."—Adrian Tchaikovsky, Arthur C. Clarke Award winner for Children of Time
"Grim, gritty, and fast paced; with great battles scenes! Anna Smith-Spark is one to watch."—Andy Remic, author of the Blood Dragon Empire series
"Anna Smith Spark's debutThe Court of Broken Knivesis a fevered dream of a fantasy, set in a world where the saviors also seem to be the destroyers . . . . This book may not make you worship death like its characters do, but it weaves a spell that will consume you all the same."—B&N Sci-Fi & Fantasy Blog
"Anna Smith-Spark writes in a unique voice with such pace and veracity your imagination has to struggle to keep up with your eyes."—Adrian Collins, Grimdark Magazine
"Captivating."—Marc Turner, author of the Chronicles of the Exile series

—Michael R. Fletcher, author of Beyond Redemption
"Spark's gripping debut is definitely one to read and prize."—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"This outstanding, unputdownable debut holds and horrifies like a blood-spattered tapestry. There's rough humour, high drama and a love of story-telling that shines through every page. Plus it's got dragons with bad breath. Brilliant."—The Daily Mail (UK)
"Should appeal to grim dark fans looking for the extreme edge."—Kirkus

"Spark's gripping debut is definitely one to read and prize."—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"Spark's
first
novel
lives
up
to
its
billing
as
a
'grimdark'
tale.
The
setting
may
be
bleak
and
dreary,
but
the
worldbuilding
is
well
done
and
the
characters
fit
right
in.
Troubled,
solitary
and
downright
drug-addled
as
the
protagonist
is,
readers
will
come
around
to
his
side
as
the
reasons
why
he
seeks
for
the
throne
he
lost
are
revealed."
