Children of the Wild Empire

By David Freedland

When fire and shadow meet, the fate of an empire hangs in the balance.

Mal Arkensis fights to rule the streets of Virm, while hiding a power within him that is forbidden, unpredictable, and deadly, even to himself. Tari serves Maag as a Shadow Dancer, part of a clandestine order bound by silence, discipline, and an unyielding oath to protect her kingdom.

Secrets cannot remain buried forever. As whispers of abductions spread across the Wild Empire, Mal and Tari are drawn together by forces greater than their own. To survive, they must choose whether to cling to loyalty, surrender to ambition, or risk everything for something more, while uncovering truths that could shake the entire kingdom.

Cinematic and character-driven, Children of the Wild Empire is the beginning of an epic new fantasy series for fans of Brandon Sanderson, Robin Hobb, and John Gwynne.
