Synopsis

When kingdoms clash, every crown will be tarnished by the bloody price of ambition.

A bastard lord leads a rebellion against his tyrant king -- and must live with the consequences of victory.

A royal widow plots to win her daughter's freedom from the ambitious lords who would control them both.
An orphaned prince sets his eyes on regaining his father's stolen throne.

And two brothers, divided by ambition, will learn that the greater the power, the more dangerous the game.

A masterful tale of the thirst for power and the cost of betrayal. Epic fantasy at its bloodiest, action-packed best.

Goodreads review by Shaheen on January 07, 2016

I am still on a high from this book. I'm actually avoiding reading anything else so that I can prolong the feeling The Falcon Throne has left me with. Reading epic fantasy can get a little repetitive, especially since these things have trends. Not too many people are writing Shannara and Sword of Tru......more

Goodreads review by J. on September 27, 2014

Most readers are likely to compare this book to Game of Thrones, but for me it's rather like King Lear: excellent writing, amazing characters, intricate woven plotlines, and lots and lots of blood, most of that unfortunately spurting from the wrong people. No elves or dragons, but some of the most i......more

Goodreads review by Tracey the Lizard Queen on October 28, 2015

Well that was epic! Let me start by saying I had no idea what to expect with this. Having never read anything by this author and not even bothering with the blurb, I dived in head first. I was pleasantly surprised, it's a great read, maybe a little slow at times, but it is set over the course of 16......more
