King of Thorns: Book 2 Lawrence, Mark

**King of Thorns: Book 2** - Because who doesn't love a psychopathic prince with daddy issues?

Mark Lawrence's second installment in The Broken Empire trilogy continues Prince Jorg's delightfully twisted journey toward... well, probably not redemption. This dark fantasy masterpiece weaves together medieval brutality with post-apocalyptic sci-fi elements, creating something genuinely unique in the grimdark fantasy landscape.

Perfect for readers who found Game of Thrones too cheerful and want their protagonists morally bankrupt yet oddly compelling. Lawrence, a research scientist turned fantasy author, crafts unflinching prose that explores power, trauma, and the thin line between hero and villain. Jorg's wedding day becomes a battlefield as past and present collide in spectacular, violent fashion.

This preloved copy from Patina Paperbacks has stories to tell beyond its pages - literary recycling at its finest.
