Über dieses E-Book

An oppressive empire forces a young girl to embrace her destiny in this “ruthless and heartwrenching” epic military fantasy trilogy opener (Robin Hobb).

The Sacred Throne trilogy begins! Myke Cole’s first epic fantasy series will enthrall readers. Follow Heloise from her humble beginnings to her world-shaping destiny in this story of religious tyrants, arcane war machines, and underground resistance.

In a world where any act of magic could open a portal to hell, the Order ensures that no wizard will live to summon devils, and they will kill as many innocent people as they must to prevent that greater horror. After witnessing a horrendous slaughter, the village girl Heloise opposes the Order, and risks bringing their wrath down on herself, her family, and her village.

Praise for The Armored Saint

“Brutal and lovely—an inventive and poignant fantasy that’s rich with keen characters, set in a vivid, fascinating world.” —Cherie Priest

“A dark fantasy tale with sharp teeth and a hard punch. Heloise is the hero we need, and Myke Cole is the writer to bring her transformation to light.” —Chuck Wendig
