Three Shattered Souls

The battle at Quu Harbor is won, but the war is not over. Yusan now has a new usurper on its throne, and he may pose a worse threat than the god-king the Blades set out to overthrow.

The surviving spies, thieves and fighters must go back to Yusan and free the colony of Gaya. They carry three relics of the Dragon Lord, and those relics are wearing down the bodies of the people who bear them. Bounty hunters and assassins block the way.

The story rotates between five points of view. Grief reshapes every member of the group, and allies may turn into enemies as it does. The fantasy draws on Korean inspiration and mixes battle scenes with romance and a dry, sardonic humor.

This is the final book of the Broken Blades trilogy, following Five Broken Blades and Four Ruined Realms. Readers who have followed the series reach its last question: whether the Blades must give up the very things they fought to keep.
