Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. "An original fantasy filled with magic and culture, the story of a character torn between two names, two loyalties, and two definitions of good and evil."aKevin J. Anderson, New York Times bestselling author of Spine of the Dragon Wen Alder was born into two worlds. On his father's side, a legacy of proud loyalty and service to the god-like Sienese Emperor spanning generations. And it is expected that Alder, too, will follow this tradition by passing the Imperial exams, learning the accepted ways of magic and, if he serves with honor, enhancing his family's prominence by rising to take a most powerful position in Sienathe Hand of the Emperor. But from his mother he has inherited defiance from the Empire, a history of wild gods and magic unlike anything the Imperial sorcerers could yet control. It began when his spirited, rebellious grandmother took Alder into the woods and introduced him to her waysaways he has never been able to forget. Now, on the verge of taking the steps that will forge the path of his life, Alder discovers that the conflict between the Empire and the resistance is only the beginning of a war that will engulf both heaven and earth, gods and manaand he may be the key to final victory for whichever side can claim him as their owna "Sublime prose and pin-sharp characterisation combine to produce a captivating epic of conflicted loyalties and dangerous ambition." aAnthony Ryan, New York Times bestselling author " The Hand of the Sun King is not the gentle story of a boy's rise to power; instead, it digs its fingernails into the layers of an empire that would consume and erase half that boy's identity. Brilliantly told and immediately engrossing, filled with magic, mistakes and their merciless consequences." aAndrea Stewart, author of The Bone Shard Daughter " The Hand of the Sun King is an outstanding debut novel with very well-conceived world building and an excellent, original magic system, and twists that will keep you reading late into the night and guessing until the very end.

Scratch that; this is one of the best debuts I've ever read." aNovel Notions "Exquisite . Greathouse's characterisation, his prose, and worldbuilding are an absolute triumph." aThe Fantasy Hive "An excellent mix of classic and modern fantasy with a grimdark undertone of despair." aGrimdark Magazine " The Hand of the Sun King is an enjoyable novel that pays great homage to the traditions and mythologies it borrows from." aQuill to Live "Teeming with culture, doused in war, political intrigue . but strikes out its own path in the genre." aFanFiAddict "Set in a fantastical world of magic with a rich history, this novel fits beautifully into its genre while also addressing some failings of the genre by turning them on their head." aDawn Vogel, History That Never Was Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
