Desiring to be emperor of the Broken Empire, young King Jorg Ancrath of the seven nations must face an adversary standing in his way, a necromancer unlike any he has ever challenged -- a figure hated and feared even more than himself: the Dead King.
Dark, the end confused the heck out of me, but never not a compelling read. Full review later.
I have to admit, I'm pretty torn by this book. An excellent series, with a satisfying ending. The biggest issue (and the one weighing heaviest on me right now) is how rushed and empty the Congression was. All this build up in multiple books on how Jorg was going to craft his way into the Emperorship... And it's over in a blink,due to spoiler reasons.
I really think I need to mark these down as books to be read again in the near future. Super refreshing for a fantasy series, I just feel like there is something I missed.
