Rue has been peacefully retired in a tiny village for the last ten years. As one of very few survivors of the now-destroyed and -outlawed Academy of Kindness, which trained assassins and necromancers, she has sought to keep a low profile. But when mercenaries raid the nearby market town, the peace she has striven for comes to an end. An altercation with the mercenaries knocks Rue unconscious, and when she awakes in an open grave, she comes face-to-face with a demigod—the Morrigan. Rue finds herself with no choice but to try to solve the mysteries of her past and reopen the chapters she thought she had closed.

Mark Lawrence
Mark Lawrence was born in Champagne-Urbanan, Illinois, to British parents but moved to the UK at the age of one. He went back to the US after taking a PhD in mathematics at Imperial College to work on a variety of research projects including the ‘Star Wars’ missile defence programme. Returning to the UK, he has worked mainly on image processing and decision/reasoning theory. He says he never had any ambition to be a writer so was very surprised when a half-hearted attempt to find an agent turned into a global publishing deal overnight. His first trilogy, THE BROKEN EMPIRE, has been universally acclaimed as a ground-breaking work of fantasy. Following The Broken Empire comes the bestselling RED QUEEN’S WAR trilogy. The BOOK OF THE ANCESTOR trilogy, in an entirely new setting, commences with RED SISTER in 2017.
