The Hand Of The Sun King

My Name Is Wen Alder. My Name Is Foolish Cur. All My Life, I Have Been Torn Between Two Legacies: That Of My Father, Whose Roots Trace Back To The Right Hand Of The Emperor. That Of My Mother's Family, Who Reject The Oppressive Empire And Embrace The Resistance. I Can Choose Between Them - Between Protecting My Family, Or Protecting My People - Or I Can Search Out A Better Path . . . A Magical Path, Filled With Secrets, Unbound By Empire Or Resistance, Which Could Shake My World To Its Very Foundation. But My Search For Freedom Will Entangle Me In A War Between The Gods Themselves . . . The First Book In The Pact And Pattern Series. Fans Of Robin Hobb, Brandon Sanderson's Mistborn And R.f. Kuang's The Poppy War Will Love The Magic Running Through Every Page.
