At nine, Prince Jorg Ancrath watched his mother and brother murdered before his eyes. At thirteen, he led a ruthless band of outlaws. By fifteen, he plans to take a throne.
Scarred in body and soul, Jorg abandoned his father’s castle years ago. Now he returns to claim what is his, driven by a relentless hunger for vengeance. Life and death are a game he plays without fear, because he has nothing left to lose.
But the path to power is steeped in treachery and shadowed by dark magic. In a world where betrayal is as common as bloodshed, Jorg will need more than cunning and steel to survive.
Prince of Thorns launches Mark Lawrence’s Broken Empire trilogy with unflinching grit and dark brilliance.
