Winner of the 2015 David Gemmell Award for Best Fantasy Debut. An

pages late at night' - Pierce Brown, Sunday Times bestselling
author of Red Rising The circle is closing. The stakes are high.
And old truths will live again . . . The Emperor has been murdered,
leaving the Annurian Empire in turmoil. Now his progeny must
prepare to unmask a conspiracy. His son Valyn, training for the
empire's deadliest fighting force, hears the news an ocean away.
And after several 'accidents' and a dying soldier's warning, he
realizes his life is also in danger. Yet before Valyn can act, he
must survive the mercenaries' brutal final initiation. The
Emperor's daughter, Minister Adare, hunts her father's murderer in
the capital. Court politics can be fatal, but she needs justice.
Lastly Kaden, heir to the empire, studies in a remote monastery.
Here, the Blank God's disciples teach their harsh ways, which Kaden
must master to unlock ancient powers. But when an imperial
delegation arrives, has he learnt enough to keep him alive, as
long-hidden powers make their move? 'A vividly imagined story of
conspiracy and empire' - Col Buchanan 'A fantastic and compelling
fantasy world' - Io9 The Emperor's Blades is the first novel in
Brain Staveley's epic Chronicle of the Unhewn Throne series.
