This book is certainly that and much more. They are those that feel like they’ve been clipped out of a rich tapestry of history and are just one moment, one thread of that. My favourite fantasy books are those that don’t seem like the whole world-and story of that world-resides in its entirety in that series. He’s destined to destroy it.Ī masterclass in world building, this book is a true representation of the fantasy genre every page of the book is a story in its own right, littered with culture, nuanced characters and history. Then again, maybe Kihrin isn’t the hero, for he’s not destined to save the empire. Those old stories lied about many things too, especially the myth that the hero always wins. And every side – from gods and demons to dragons and mages – want him as their pawn. Kihrin is horrified to learn he’s at the centre of an ancient prophecy. However, escaping his jewelled cage just makes matters worse. But far from living the dream, Kihrin’s at the mercy of his new family’s ruthless ambitions. Kihrin’s plight brings him to the attention of royalty, who claim him as the lost son of their immoral prince. Then he raids the wrong house, he’s marked by a demon and life will never be the same again. He also steals, desperate to buy a way out of Quur’s slums. As a bard’s apprentice, Kihrin grew up with tales of legendary deeds.
