Emperor Beyon's law is that any hint of the pattern means death, before they become another puppet for the sorcerer to use for his evil ends - to see the Cerani Empire reduced to dust and whispers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo one but his mother knows the emperor himself is infected, and so she looks to her only other living son, Prince Sarmin, locked in a tower since Beyon ascended the throne. A bride is chosen, a girl from the grasslands quite unused to the politics and intrigue of the imperial court - but she is strong-willed and determined, and she once saw a path in a pattern in the waving grasses: a path that might just save them all.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Quercus Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32032914374739,"sku":"","price":17.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780857388032__677452b253947_34d31b0c-f1e9-4bf9-b63f-01c0fbddb0a2.jpg?v=1741156768","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/the-emperors-knife-tower-and-knife-book-i","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
