Michael Kingman thought he was going to die by the executioner's
axe, forever labelled as a traitor. Still alive, and under the
protection of the Orbis Mercenary company, Michael and his family
and friends are deeply involved in the seemingly rival conspiracies
that are tearing The Hollows apart. With the death of the King,
both the Corrupt Prince and his sister Serena are vying for the
throne, while the Rebel Emperor is spreading lies amongst the
people, and all of them want Michael dead. This is a story of
betrayal, murder, and rebellion, and in this direct sequel to the
debut novel The Kingdom of Liars, also some hope for justice. For
readers who love the intrigue and widening scope of epic fantasy
like Sanderson's Mistborn and Week's The Black Prism, this is your
next must-read fantasy series. Praise for The Kingdom of Liars: 'An
excellent fantasy debut, with engaging worldbuilding and a good mix
between action and character. I thoroughly enjoyed the novel, and
look forward to following Nick's sure-to-be lengthy writing career'
- Brandon Sanderson, #1 New York Times best-selling author of The
Stormlight Archive series 'A symphony of loyalty, greed, family,
and betrayal set in an innovative culture!' - Tamora Pierce, #1 New
York Times bestselling author of Tempests and Slaughter 'With a
smartly plotted story, great world-building, flawed but fascinating
characters and plenty of mystery, The Kingdom of Liars is a
terrific debut' - James Islington, author of The Shadow of What Was
Lost 'A richly rewarding fantasy that seethes with mysteries, fuzed
with a mindscrew of a magic system. This, dear readers, is the good
stuff' - Jeremy Szal, author of Stormblood 'Nick Martell's debut
The Kingdom of Liars lives up to its name, with so many truths and
lies interwoven that nothing is as it seems and surprises lurk
across every turn of the page. Michael's tale is nothing, if not
thrilling' - Ryan Van Loan, author of The Sin in the Steel "This
smart, briskly told high fantasy entertains all the way until the
unexpected end' - Publishers Weekly
Michael Kingman has been an outsider for as long as he remembers.
The court which executed his father also exiled him and his family.
They branded him a traitor, and the nobles who had been his friends
turned their backs, prepared to let the legendary Kingman family
die on Hollow's city streets. Only they survived. And it should
come as no surprise to Hollow Court, or the King, that they've been
searching for the truth ever since. History is written by the
winners, truth buried beneath lies until it's Forgotten. Justice
seems impossible in a city where the price of magic is a memory.
But Michael Kingman is determined to make everyone remember . . .
For readers who love the intrigue and widening scope of epic
fantasy like Sanderson's Mistborn and Week's The Black Prism, this
is your next must-read fantasy series. Michael Kingman has
discovered his destiny, but the distance to what he wants, namely a
life with Serena, the queen of Hollow kingdom, is as wide as the
world, and just as cruel. Meanwhile, Dark, the realm's most
fearsome mercenary, Michael's sometime mentor, and son of his
nemesis, Angelo, is trying to keep Michael in line, for his own
purposes as he too has a hidden agenda. Michael comes to realize
that he is outclassed by powers that have been working for
centuries to bring about a fresh end to the world filled with those
he loves. But when has merely being overpowered ever stopped
Michael from getting what he wants? To prevent what may bring about
the end times Michael must gather his remaining allies and push
himself to achieve the impossible because the alternative is worse
than he can imagine: it's not just the beginning of the end of the
world, it's being alone and forgotten. In this epic conclusion, The
Voyage of the Forgotten brilliantly wraps up the stories fans have
fallen in love with as the characters struggle against odds that
seem impossible to overcome.
