Andrea Stewart returns with The Bone Shard Emperor, the second installment of this unmissable, action-packed, magic-laced fantasy epic.
The Emperor is Dead. Long live the Emperor.
Lin Sukai finally sits on the throne she won at so much cost, but her struggles are only just beginning. Her people don’t trust her. Her political alliances are weak. And in the north-east of the Empire, a rebel army of constructs is gathering, its leader determined to take the throne by force.
Yet an even greater threat is on the horizon, for the Alanga – the powerful magicians of legend – have returned to the Empire. They claim they come in peace, and Lin will need their help in order to defeat the rebels and restore peace.
But can she trust them?

Review
This series has my heart, book one left me breathless and so far book two hasn’t disappointed. The world building is exquisite and the writing is intense and immersive. I must admit at first I struggled with how many povs there were but once I got into it, i became so attached and it’s great to see the character personalities grow in this one. These are tales so intricately woven that it feels like you’re alongside the characters.
