Intraprendi un viaggio epico attraverso un mondo sull'orlo della rovina, dove culture distinte si scontrano in mezzo a ribellioni e tumulti politici. Questa serie high fantasy fonde magistralmente azione ad alta posta in gioco con un profondo sviluppo dei personaggi. I lettori rimarranno affascinati dall'intricata interazione di romanticismo, lealtà familiari, tradimenti devastanti e scelte strazianti. L'ambientazione riccamente immaginata trae ispirazione dalle sensibilità mediterranee e dalle culture marinare, creando un'esperienza veramente immersiva.
Two decades after being forced into slavery by seafaring Norlander invaders, a small faction of Shadari rebels hires the infamous mercenary Mongrel to assist their uprising, unaware that her ties to the region render her a volatile ally with an agenda of her own.
Victory for the Shadari rebels has come at a terrible price. Hardship, superstition and a murderous cabal poison King Daryan's young regime, but help is nowhere to be found: the mercenary who led their rebellion has vanished, their Nomas allies have troubles of their own, and the Norlanders who returned home to plead - or fight - for the Shadari's independence have found themselves embroiled in the court politics of an empire about to implode. As the foundations of the two far-flung countries begin to crack, an enigmatic figure watches from a tower room in Ravindal Castle. She is old, and a prisoner, but her reach is long, and her patience is about to be rewarded...
Brandon Sanderson said, 'I loved these characters, even though I knew it was going to hurt. Heart-wrenching. Poignant. Lovely.' Now the Shadari and Norlanders have more heartache to face in the climax of The Shattered Kingdoms.
