Epic fantasist Brian Staveley thundered onto the scene in 2013 with his debut, The Emperor’s Blades, first in the Chronicle of the Unhewn Throne: a tale of trained elite assassins, political intrigue, and treacherous magic. Just a few years later Staveley is an acknowledged major force in epic fantasy. His conclusion to the trilogy, The Last Mortal Bond, which releases this month, promises to deliver a gut-punch ending with shocking twists. Don’t miss this series if you love dark, complex, mind-bending epic fantasy.
