Coles Empire of Sand and Stars: Legacy Of Sand and Stars, #1 at Bayshore Shopping Centre in Ottawa, ON
*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
The empire was built on stars. The dynasty was built on a lie.
For fourteen centuries, the Star-Blessed Dynasty has ruled Kemethis by channeling the cosmic forces of the Convergence through a single sovereign — a sacred burden passed from father to child, generation after generation, in exchange for an empire's stability.
Now Pharos VII is dying, and the cosmic alignment that will determine his successor is happening early. Far too early.
His three children — Pharos, heir to a throne he is not ready for; Sekmet, a warrior whose fury has always been more reliable than her faith; and Thutmera, a scholar exiled for asking the wrong questions — must master powers they don't understand, in days instead of decades, while the empire's oldest enemies, ambitious nobles, and a desert prophet who knows more than he should circle what's left of their father's authority.
Because the founder of their dynasty did not simply commune with the stars. He made a choice fourteen centuries ago that the official histories never recorded — and the Convergence is coming to collect on it, whether the dynasty is ready or not.
Empire of Sand and Stars is the first book in the Legacy of Sand and Stars saga: a richly imagined epic fantasy rooted in ancient Egyptian myth and alternative history, where politics, cosmic power, and the cost of inherited authority collide. For readers of The Poppy War , The Fifth Season , and Mistborn .
