Ambessa Medarda: bojovnice, generálka, matka. Žena, které je radno se obávat. Srazila na kolena celé říše. Přemohla legendární nestvůry. Pro úspěch obětovala mnohé. A za to byla odměněna: Vlk jí seslal vidění sebe samé na trůnu obrovského noxijského impéria. Jenže nejdřív se musí chopit vlády nad vlastním klanem. O tu se však uchází také její bratranec, zákeřný a ambiciózní Ta'Fik. Ten moc dobře zná Ambessinu krvavou minulost, a je proto odhodlaný svoji nechvalně známou příbuznou za každou cenu zastavit. Patnáctiletá Mel je rozhodnuta matce na cestě k trůnu pomoci. Ambessa v ní ale vidí jen dítě, které postrádá instinkt zabijáka. Dívka proto musí sobě i jí dokázat, že má na to stát se její pravou rukou a nástupkyní. Se zrádci uvnitř vlastní rodiny, nepřáteli, kteří se k ní stahují ze všech stran, a neviditelnými silami, číhajícími ve stínech, je Ambessa každým dnem ve větším a větším nebezpečí. Přesto se nikdy nevzdá. Aby usedla na trůn, jenž jí náleží, uvrhne klidně celý svět do plamenů.

Ignyte Award-winning author C. L. Clark brings fantasy to the fens with Fate's Bane, a tragic sapphic adventure. Warring clans. Burning hearts. Deadly fate. The clans of the fens enjoy a tenuous peace, and it is all thanks to Agnir, ward and hostage. For as long as she can remember she has lived among the enemy, learning their ways, growing strong alongside their children. When a burgeoning love for the chieftain’s daughter lures them both to a hidden spring, a magic awakens in them that could bind the clans under one banner at last—or destroy any hope of peace. By working their intentions into leather, they can weave misfortune for their enemies… just like the Fate’s Bane that haunts the legends of the clans. Ambitions grow in their fathers’ hearts, grudges threaten a return to violence, and greedy enemies wait outside the borders, seeking a foothold to claim the fens for themselves. And though their Makings may save their families, the legend that gave them this power always exacts its price.

MEDARDA MIND FÖLÖTT. A Medarda-klánnak senki sem érhet a nyomába, ha a dicsőség hajszolásáról van szó, Ambessa Medarda pedig már szinte mindent elért, amit lehetett: seregeket vezetett, egész országokat hódított meg, legendás szörnyeket vadászott le, és súlyos áldozatokat hozott, hogy felemelkedjen a rangsorban. És mindezért el is nyerte jutalmát: belépett a halál birodalmába, és látta önmagát a hatalmas Noxus trónján. De mielőtt a birodalom élére állhatna, először a saját klánja fejévé kell válnia. A címért azonban harcba száll unokatestvére és egykori bizalmasa, Ta'Fik is, aki ismeri Ambessa múltjának sötét titkait. És tudja, hogy nem engedheti a család fejévé válni őt. Ők ketten a Medardák lelkéért fogják megvívni háborújukat, amelyben még Ambessa lánya, Mel is puszta fegyverré válik. Ambessát elárulja a családja, az ellenség minden oldalról közelít, az árnyékban pedig láthatatlan erők mozognak. De ő senki előtt nem hajt fejet. Ha kell, porig égeti a világot, de nem adja fel azt, amit kiharcolt magának.

The Sovereign brings princess Luca and soldier Touraine together one last time in the thrilling conclusion to C. L. Clark's beloved queer political fantasy trilogy. Luca is the new queen of Balladaire. Her empire is already splintering in her hands. Her uncle wasn't the only traitor in the court, and the Withering plague will decimate her people if she can't unearth Balladaire's magic. The only person who can help her wants the only thing Luca won't give-the end of the monarchy. Touraine is Luca's general. She has everything she ever wanted. While Luca looks within Balladaire's borders, Touraine looks outward-the alliance with Qazal is brittle and Balladaire's neighbors are ready to pounce on its new weakness. When the army comes, led by none other than Touraine's old lover, Touraine must face the truth about herself-and the empire she once called home. A storm is coming. Touraine and Luca will stand against it together, or it will tear them apart once and for all. Magic of the Lost:The UnbrokenThe FaithlessThe Sovereign

Set in the blockbuster and award-winning universe of League of Legends: Arcane and written by award-winning author C. L. Clark, discover a thrilling epic fantasy novel where Ambessa Medarda truly learns what it means to be a Chosen of the Wolf. Medarda over all. Ambessa Medarda: Warrior, general, mother. She is a woman to be feared, and the Medardas are unrivaled in their pursuit of glory. She has led conquests and armies. She has slain legendary beasts. She has made grave sacrifices in her ascent up the ranks. And for this she was rewarded: She entered the realm of death and was granted a vision of herself upon the throne of the vast Noxian empire. But before she can lead her empire, she must become head of her own clan. Yet the title is contested by her cousin and former confidante, Ta'Fik. He knows the bloody sins of Ambessa's past. And he knows he cannot allow her to rise. They will fight a war for the very soul of the Medardas. But the war won't be fought on battlefields alone. Ambessa's daughter, Mel, can deftly break through the walls around anyone's heart, and she'll put her talents to use for her mother. Yet despite Mel's strength, Ambessa sees only a child who lacks her killer instincts. Mel knows she can be the leader Ambessa wants her to be, if only she gives her time. With her family betraying her, enemies closing in on all sides, and unseen forces moving in the shadows, every day proves more dangerous than the last. But Ambessa will not bow. She will burn the world down to claim her place in it.

EVERY EMPIRE DEMANDS REVOLUTION. Touraine is a soldier. Stolen as a child and raised to kill and die for the empire, her only loyalty is to her fellow conscripts. But now, her company has been sent back to her homeland to stop a rebellion, and the ties of blood may be stronger than she thought. Luca needs a turncoat. Someone desperate enough to tiptoe the bayonet's edge between treason and orders. Someone who can sway the rebels toward peace, while Luca focuses on what really matters: getting her uncle off her throne. Through assassinations and massacres, in bedrooms and war rooms, Touraine and Luca will haggle over the price of a nation. But some things aren't for sale. In a political fantasy unlike any other, debut author C. L. Clark spins an epic tale of rebellion, espionage, and military might on the far outreaches of a crumbling desert empire.
