THE EMPTY THRONE [Paperback] Cayla Kluver

**THE EMPTY THRONE by Cayla Kluver - Fantasy That Actually Delivers**

This preloved paperback from Patina Paperbacks brings you Kluver's gripping tale of political intrigue and magical upheaval. When the kingdom's ruler vanishes, leaving behind only questions and a power vacuum, unlikely heroes must navigate deadly court politics and ancient magic to prevent total chaos.

Kluver, who burst onto the fantasy scene as a teen prodigy, crafts a world where loyalty is currency and trust gets you killed. Expect betrayals that'll make you gasp, magic systems that actually make sense, and characters who feel refreshingly human despite their extraordinary circumstances.

Perfect for fantasy lovers craving political drama without the endless genealogy charts, YA readers ready to graduate to meatier plots, and anyone who thinks Game of Thrones needed more magic and fewer weddings.
