In the 'past', Jorg (after the events of Prince but before King), travels the world trying to learn more about its history and his own potential.Īgain following the pattern of the previous books, the two narratives build (more or less) to the same climactic moment. In the 'present', Jorg and his retinue head towards Congression and a showdown with the Dead King.
His chosen harbinger is a familiar one to readers: the necromancer Chella, who has the dubious honor of having appeared (and been thwarted) by Jorg in the past.Īs with the previous books, Emperor splits its narrative into two parts. That said, other notable claimants have come and gone in the past, and the odds of Jorg being the first to unite the Broken Empire are slim indeed.Īnd the land has problems (above and beyond the prospect of 'Emperor Jorg'), zombie-monsters are continuing to rise and their mysterious leader, the Dead King, seems particularly fixated on Jorg. One kingdom = one vote, so Jorg, after thumping his rival (the Prince of Arrow - in King) and claiming his lands, has quite a few in his pocket. The many, many rulers of the bitty kingdoms of the world all flock to the former Imperial hall to cast their votes for a candidate. Every seven years, the Congression is held at Vyene. In Emperor, Jorg Ancrath is finally close to achieving his grand ambition: to take the throne and declare himself Emperor. Please be warned that the plot summary below contains seriousspoilers for the entire Broken Empire trilogy.
#Broken empire katherine of miana series#
The first two books - Prince and King of Thorns respectively - were also finalists for the DGLA and I feel that reviewing this series has become part of the annual tradition. Emperor of Thorns (2013) is the third and final volume of the Broken Empire trilogy by Mark Lawrence.
