Sci-Fi & Speculative
by Mark Lawrence · The Broken Empire series
Thirteen-year-old Prince Honorous Jorg Ancrath leads a band of brutal mercenaries across a broken empire, driven by vengeance and unchecked ambition. Lawrence crafts an unflinching portrait of a charismatic, amoral protagonist shaped by trauma and violence, set in a post-apocalyptic world where medieval kingdoms rise from technological ruin. The prose is sharp and visceral, exploring the nature of evil and the cost of power.
