"A true fantasy masterpiece." -Sabaa Tahir, #1 New York Times bestselling author
The Queen of Fantasy strikes again! This stunning new series from Victoria Aveyard, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Red Queen series is a high-voltage, high-stakes adventure where kingdoms hang in the balance and betrayal is only a breath away.
A strange darkness grows in Allward even Corayne an-Amarat can feel it in her small town at the edge of the sea. The long lost heir to an ancient lineage, it's not until Corayne meets a rag-tag group of companions that she learns how to wield the magic slumbering in her blood-and how together they might stop what's coming.
From her seat on the throne, Queen Erida has one aim: build a kingdom worthy of her destiny. While her court hopes to marry her off, Erida will do anything she can to avoid losing her crown-and her freedom. No matter the cost.
Meanwhile, shadowy corpse armies march the hillsides and dangerous beasts creep through fissures in the world, and a great evil grows stronger by the day. As the realm descends into chaos, the choices are clear: Save the world...or end it.
Realm Breaker is the first book in an epic series, told in multiple-POV chapters that follow an irresistible cast of characters through an incredibly imagined world, with action-packed adventure and lethal twists you won't see coming, perfect for fans of Leigh Bardugo and Tolkien himself.
Don't miss Blade Breaker, the #1 New York Times bestselling sequel to Realm Breaker.
