Speaking Bones

About

Princess Théra, stalked by enemies and dogged by betrayal, is pursued across a continent vaster than she imagined — to hidden valleys at the World's Edge Mountains, into the subterranean halls of the City of Ghosts, and toward a confrontation that will determine the fate of two empires. The whirlwind of war threatens to consume everything, and the principles Théra fights for may not survive the methods required to defend them. Ken Liu's conclusion to the Dandelion Dynasty is epic fantasy at its most ambitious — a saga that combines Chinese historical imagination with the structural innovations of modern speculative fiction. The politics are intricate, the battles are devastating, and the moral questions are never simplified by the demands of plot. The final chapter of a saga that reimagined what fantasy could be — proof that the genre's deepest battles are always between what is right and what is necessary.
