Legacy of Steel

Legacy of Steel is the spectacular sequel to Matthew Ward's acclaimed epic fantasy debut, Legacy of Ash - an unmissable tale of war and intrigue that combines the imagination of George R. R. Martin with the gritty historical realism of Bernard Cornwell.

A year has passed since an unlikely alliance saved the Tressian Republic from fire and darkness - at great cost. Thousands perished, and Viktor Akadra - the Republic's champion - has disappeared.

While the ruling council struggles to mend old wounds, other factions sense opportunity. The insidious Parliament of Crows schemes in the shadows, while to the east the Hadari Emperor gathers his armies. As turmoil spreads across the Republic, its ripples are felt in the realms of the divine.

War is coming . . . and this time the gods themselves will take sides.
