Shiang: Empire of Salt Book II

Review ------ 'A must read. Iggulden is clearly having fun p his various heroes and villains into bloody combat' SciFiNow (SciFiNow) An old-school Fantasy novel, strong on character, in which readers can immerse themselves (SFF World) Enough machinations, conspiracies and controversies to rival Game of Thrones (***** Reader Review) Strong characters and plotting, combined with world-building skills on a par with Brandon Sanderson's - what's not to like? VERY highly recommended! (***** Reader Review) If you love David Gemmell, you will love this (***** Reader Review) Iggulden is a master storyteller (Sunday Express) Fascinating. masters, magic stones, warriors brought back from the dead and two cities a thousand miles apart. What a great read (***** Reader Review) High fantasy tinged with dark magic, an East-meets-West clash of cultures, and an epic adventure (***** Reader Review) Iggulden is in a class of his own (Daily Mirror) From the Inside Flap -------------------- IF THESE STONES COULD SPEAK . . . THEY WOULD CALL FOR WAR. In Shiang, the young king rules without dissent. Mazer smen stand watch on every corner, looking for the first sign of rebellion. This city is a place of quiet and slow dignity, like a man eating rice with a razor pressed against his throat. Yet with one sharp movement, order is overturned. The balance of centuries is undone in the sudden spill of blood - and in the darkness, something terrible returns to Shiang. Far to the west, four Shiang masters approach the city walls of Darien. The saint and his companions have crossed a continent to bring an old man home for punishment. They will not be denied, even if the whole city stands in their way. TWO ANCIENT CITIES. ONE FINAL WAR.
