Empire of Storms

Description

The breathtaking, heart-stopping fifth installment in the epic #1 New York Times bestselling Throne of Glass series! From Sarah J. Maas, the global fantasy phenomenon and author of A Court of Thorns and Roses and Crescent City, comes Empire of Storms—the monumental, high-stakes novel that pushes the world of Erilea to the absolute brink of destruction. Packed with sweeping political alliances, massive naval battles, and scorching, high-steam romance, this unputdownable masterpiece delivers a calculated, fast-paced ride toward an unforgettable, jaw-dropping climax.

The long, blood-soaked path to the ancestral throne has only just begun for Aelin Galathynius as a devastating, all-out global war looms heavily on the horizon. In this shifting landscape of peril, ancient loyalties have been brutally broken and bought, lifelong friends have been tragically lost and gained, and those who possess forbidden magic find themselves at dangerous odds with those who don’t.

With her heart completely sworn to the lethal Fae warrior-prince, Rowan Whitethorn, by her side, and her unyielding fealty pledged to the innocent people she is fiercely determined to save, Aelin must delve into the terrifying depths of her raw, fiery power to protect those she loves. But as horrific monsters emerge from the dark shadows of the past, and malicious dark forces under the Valg Erawan become poised to claim her world forever, the only remaining chance for ultimate salvation will lie in a desperate, cross-continental quest. It is a treacherous journey that may very well mark the tragic end of everything Aelin holds dear.

In this explosive fifth novel, the fiery queen will have to choose exactly what—and who—she is willing to sacrifice if she stands any chance of keeping her beloved world from breaking completely apart.

Masterfully executing the high fantasy, fated mates, forced proximity, hidden prophecy, and royal armies tropes, Empire of Storms delivers a beautifully structured, atmospheric narrative. Featuring Sarah J. Maas’s signature sharp wit, unmatched character depth, and legendary world-building, this stunning Bloomsbury paperback reissue is an essential addition for every fantasy enthusiast’s collection.
