A throne under siege

The second installment of the Broken Empire trilogy places Jorg Ancrath in the position he once sought: king. Now he must defend a throne won through torture and treachery as a far larger enemy force approaches his castle. His pursuit of revenge remains entangled with the violence of his past, while a cache of ancient artifacts offers another, uncertain resource for the battle ahead. The description frames power as both an achievement and a burden, with Jorg’s rule tested by the consequences of how he obtained it.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in dark fantasy centered on a ruler facing a military threat.
  • Those following the Broken Empire trilogy and Jorg Ancrath’s continuing story.
  • Readers drawn to themes of revenge, power, and the consequences of violence.

Book overview

In book two of the Broken Empire trilogy, the boy who would be king has gained the throne--but the crown is a heavy weight to bear...

At age nine, Prince Honorous Jorg Ancrath vowed to avenge his slaughtered mother and brother--and to punish his father for not doing so. At fifteen, he began to fulfill that vow. Now, at eighteen, he must fight for what he has taken by torture and treachery.

Haunted by the pain of his past, and plagued by nightmares of the atrocities he has committed, King Jorg is filled with rage. And even as his need for revenge continues to consume him, an overwhelming enemy force marches on his castle.

Jorg knows that he cannot win a fair fight. But he has found a long-hidden cache of ancient artifacts. Some might call them magic. Jorg is not certain--all he knows is that their secrets can be put to terrible use in the coming battle...
