![]() The Stars Undying (Empire Without End, #1) by Emery RobinĪ spectacular space opera debut perfect for readers of Ann Leckie's Ancillary Justice and Arkady Martine's A Memory Called Empire, inspired by the lives and loves of Cleopatra and Julius Caesar. The Justice of Kings is a murder mystery thriller and character memoir rolled into one with a dollop of necromancy. One of the things I love about fantasy is the way it can seamlessly work with other genres. ![]() POV: you’re the emperor’s justice (a detective, judge, and executioner all in one) accompanied by your clerk and protégé Helena who’s writing a book about you and your travels together (you don’t know this). ![]() As the stakes rise and become ever more personal, Vonvalt and Helena must make a choice: Will they abandon the laws they’ve sworn to uphold, in order to protect the Empire? When the pair investigates the murder of a provincial aristocrat, they unearth a conspiracy that stretches to the very top of Imperial society. At his side stands Helena Sedanka, his talented protégé, orphaned by the wars that forged the Empire. Sir Konrad Vonvalt is the most feared Justice of all, upholding the law by way of his sharp mind, arcane powers, and skill as a swordsman. Only the Order of Justices stands in the way of chaos. ![]() ![]() Rebels, heretics, and powerful patricians all challenge the power of the Imperial throne. The Empire of the Wolf simmers with unrest. The Justice of Kings (Empire of the Wolf #1) by Richard Swan ![]()
