The Fallen Usurper

A usurper without a throne. A soldier turned emperor. A mage struggling with purpose.

Mere weeks have passed since the Usurper’s defeat at the hands of the Final Heir. With Mahzun’s whereabouts unknown, his empire—forged in blood by the Eternal Blade—fractures at a furious pace.

Severely weakened, Mahzun flees back to the Northern Wilds. In the land that cradled him during his youth, he seeks rest and revenge. Unfortunately, all he has are vague and mysterious instructions from the ghostly apparition of his oldest enemy.

Ekarath transitions from resistance fighter to emperor, discovering that defeating the Usurper was only the beginning. New perils are coming to challenge his rule. With them will come unexpected allies.

Zahara struggles with her purpose as nobles plot and the other Heirdoms descend into rebellion. Friends plan her future as Ekarath’s wife, while the world feels far too chaotic for romance. Fortunately, an ancient power beyond her comprehension has its own plans for her.

The Fallen Usurper is the second book of The Final Heir trilogy. If you like Brandon Sanderson, Orson Scott Card, or Brian McClellan, then you’ll love this fast-paced fantasy adventure. Buy The Fallen Usurper now to continue the epic journey you began with The Final Heir.
