About this ebook
In the final novel in the Broken Empire Trilogy, the boy who would rule all may have finally met his match...
King Jorg Ancrath is twenty now—and king of seven nations. His goal—revenge against his father—has not yet been realized, and the demons that haunt him have only grown stronger. Yet no matter how tortured his path, he intends to take the next step in his upward climb.
Jorg would be emperor. It is a position not to be gained by the sword but rather by vote. And never in living memory has anyone secured a majority of the vote, leaving the Broken Empire long without a leader. Jorg plans to change that. He’s uncovered the lost technology of the land, and he won’t hesitate to use it.
But he soon finds an adversary standing in his way, a necromancer unlike any he has ever faced—a figure hated and feared even more than himself: the Dead King.

A fitting ending for a very worthwhile trilogy. Anything to say about this one is a spoiler if you didn´t read the previous books so I´ll only say this: If you did read the story of Jorg up until now, you cannot miss on this end, and if you didn´t... well then, get on it. truly more than recommended for those that enjoy dark, gritty fantasy

The trilogy altogether was a great read, lots of up and downs. The ending of this book really fell flat though. There were a lot of loose ends that were just never explained. As a whole I'd give it a 4 out of 5 because other than that weak end it was worth the read

Although i put it aside a few times this series kept pulling me back in. Well written and descriptive when it needed to be without piling it on to thick. 4 stars. Tks.
