EVERY CROWN IS TARNISHED BY THE BLOOD OF AMBITION. In the lands of Harcia, Clemen and Cassinia, old wounds do not heal easily. The ties of family may be strong, but they risk becoming the hangman's noose. In Harcia, the line between honour and betrayal wears thin. Two brothers, divided by ambition, will learn the true meaning of treachery. In Clemen, a bastard lord rising against his tyrant cousin will shed more blood than he could have dreamed. And in Cassinia, a duke's widow will defy the ambitious lord who'd control her family. All of this will come to pass, and the only certainty is that nothing will remain as it was. As royal houses rise and fall, empires are reborn and friends turn to enemies, it is clear that much is demanded of those who follow the path to power. WITH THE FALCON THRONE, A MAJOR NEW EPIC FANTASY BEGINS.
