'Thrilling battles, compelling characters, and high stakes' SFXA LAND DIVIDED. A HISTORY INKED IN BLOOD. ONE SORCERESS'S QUEST FOR ANSWERS.The world beyond the City of the Wise is fraught with danger. But Fola, a talented sorceress who has left the safety of its walls, is unconcerned. She's on the hunt for magical remnants left behind by the First Folk - ancient beings who are but the whisper of a memory. Only by finding them might she uncover the secret to their power and a way to pull the riven lands out of the darkness. Danger lies ahead for Fola, however she feels about it. And when events conspire to drag her into a cursed kingdom to investigate the death of its king, she's soon faced by threats from both the living and the dead. Fola will need to rely on her wits, her magic and her unlikely friends if she's going to survive. But there is always hope, no matter how dark things get. And three things remain true, above all else. Fellowship is stronger than isolation. The past will come back to haunt you. Nothing stays secret forever. A fantasy epic of breathtaking scope, The Tower of the Tyrant from J.T. Greathouse is a rich standalone adventure for fans of Geralt and Ciri in The Witcher, for those who loved the mystery of The Tainted Cup by Robert Jackson Bennett, or for anyone looking to recapture the magic of The Wheel of Time series. 'A great, deep, and magical world to get lost in' A.S. TAMAKI'A beautiful, intricate, angry book about the price tag of history' JARED PECHACEK
