And when the light breaks through and it all makes sense, the contrast is gorgeous'#1 New York Times bestselling author Robin HobbBook 2 in the stellar new series from bestselling fantasy author of PRINCE OF THORNS and RED SISTER, Mark LawrenceMark Lawrence was born in Champaign-Urbana, 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, and both The Liar’s Key and The Wheel of Osheim have won the Gemmell Legend award for best fantasy novel. Mark is married, with four children, and lives in Bristol.Follow Mark on:Facebook: www.facebook.com/MarkLawrenceBooksTwitter: @mark__lawrence (please note: there are two underscores)Book 2 in the stellar new series from bestselling fantasy author of PRINCE OF THORNS and RED SISTER, Mark Lawrence• The British answer to George R.R.
