Emperor of Thorns

by Mark Lawrence · 2012

In the final volume of the Broken Empire trilogy, twenty‑year‑old King Jorg Ancrath rules seven nations and still seeks vengeance against his father. Haunted by demons and driven by an unrelenting ambition, Jorg aims to become emperor—not by sword, but by securing a majority vote in a land that has known no ruler for generations. As he uncovers lost technology from a long‑gone civilization, he must confront both external foes and the darkness within himself to claim the ultimate power.
