The epic follow-up to THE THOUSAND NAMES
"An immensely entertaining novel" (Tor.com) from the author of The Thousand Names...
The King of the Vordan is on his deathbed. Soon his daughter, Raesinia will be the first Queen Regnant in centuries-and a target for those who seek to control her. The most dangerous is Duke Orlanko, Minister of Information, and master of the secret police. He is the most feared man in the kingdom, and he knows an arcane secret that puts Raesinia completely at his mercy.
But Raesinia has found unlikely allies in the returning war hero Janus bet Vhalnich, and his loyal deputies, Captain Marcus d'Ivoire and Lieutenant Winter Ihernglass. As Marcus and Winter struggle to find their places in the home they never thought they would see again, they help Janus and Raesinia set in motion events that could shatter Orlanko's powers, but perhaps at the price of throwing the nation into chaos. But with the people suffering under the Duke's tyranny, they intend to protect the kingdom with every power they can command, earthly or otherwise.

It is, in truth, a cracking read and I very much look forward to
the next installment.
*Mike Brooks, author of Dark Run and Dark Sky*
The Shadow Throne is easily one of the most enjoyable books I’ve
read in years.
*Publishers Weekly*
I was full of praise for The Thousand Names and am so once again
for The Shadow Throne, obligatory fantasy right here. Managing to
create such strong start and building upon it requires skill. I can
only imagine what Django Wexler will show next. MUST READ

I can recommend it sincerely: The Shadow Throne is fun.
