The Emperor's Blades

by Brian Staveley


I really liked this book. I'm not sure it is as good as GRRM and Rothfuss, but it would be just one small tier down. I flew through it.

Publisher Description

The children of an assassinated emperor try to stay alive and avenge their father's death while continuing down their individual life-paths, one in a monastery, another training with elite soldiers, and one appointed a minister determined to prove herself to her people.
