Two men rise together. One empire falls. And a friendship is torn apart by power.
Kuni Garu is a clever bandit with charm to spare. Mata Zyndu is a fierce warrior, raised to reclaim his family’s honor. When the two join forces in a rebellion against the tyrannical emperor, they become legends—fighting vast armies, soaring on silk-draped airships, and crossing paths with shape-shifting gods.
But once the throne is empty, their visions for the future clash. Now, Kuni and Mata find themselves leading rival factions, their brotherhood unraveling in the battle to shape a new world.
Hailed as one of the Time 100 Best Fantasy Books of All Time, The Grace of Kings launches Ken Liu’s Dandelion Dynasty, a sweeping epic of war, ambition, and the cost of power.
