The Throne of Amenkor Trilogy omnibus brings together The Skewed Throne, The Cracked Throne, and The Vacant Throne for the first time. One young girl holds the fate of a city in her hands. If she fails, it spells her doom-and the end of her world. Twice in the history of the city of Amenkor, the White Fire had swept over the land. Over a thousand years ago it came from the east, covering the entire city, touching everyone, leaving them unburned-but bringing madness in its wake, a madness that only ended with the death of the ruling Mistress of the city. Five years ago the Fire came again, and Amenkor has been spiraling into ruin ever since. The city's only hope rests in the hands of a young girl, Varis, who has taught herself the art of survival and has been trained in the ways of the assassin. Venturing deep into the heart of Amenkor, Varis will face her harshest challenges and greatest opportunities. And it is here that she will either find her destiny-or meet her doom.

Reviews

Praise for the Throne of Amenkor series:

I giveThe Skewed Thronefour and a half out of five really creepy-ass iconic chairs, and a strong suggestion that it not walk down any dark alleys alone.I highly recommend it. Seanan McGuire,New York Timesbestselling author of the Toby Daye series

Agritty, edgy, unsettling book. This tough young woman makes her choices in a world where good and evil often look like twins. I was riveted by her story! Tamora Pierce,New York Timesbestselling author of the Song of the Lioness series

Joshua Palmatier has written avivid, passionate story about a tough-minded heroinefighting for survival. What makes her especially compelling is her own struggle to understand right and wrong, and to confront what necessity can force you to do. This promising first novel should lead to equally confident sequels. Kate Elliott,New York Timesbestsellingauthor of Spiritwalker series

The strength of Palmatier's book lies in Varis. Varis is a bitter girl, hardened by years of living in the Dredge, but she retains a core of humanity. Her ability to slip into what she calls the river, where threats stand out as splashes of red in the currents of the world around her, makes her an intriguing point of view characterif you enjoy grittier fantasy, I would recommend picking upThe Skewed Throne. Jim C. Hines, author of the Magic ex Libris series

"If you are familiar with Arya Stark in George R.R. Martin's Song of Ice and Fire series, you'll love Varis, who hasa similar tenacity and toughness. I highly recommendThe Skewed Throneand fans of gritty fantasy will love this book. Paul Genesse, author of the Iron Dragon series
