The Art of Legend

A humbled prince, a grumpy grandmaster, and a ragtag band of heroes find out what it takes to become truly legendary, in the conclusion to the epic fantasy trilogy lauded as “ dramatic, fun, thoughtful, clever, and (literally) punchy” (Kirkus Reviews).

“ Electrifying, thrilling, and a glorious, romantic ride. ” — Robert Jackson Bennett on The Art of Prophecy

Once in a faraway kingdom there was a man prophesied to be the chosen one, who would defeat a great villain, the Eternal Khan, and save the kingdom.

But then the Eternal Khan died . . . and the prophecy was broken.

For Jian, the fated hero, this could have been a moment to succumb to despair. But instead, he chose to create his own destiny. He studied under Taishi, his curmudgeonly but beloved mentor, to become a great warrior.

With war on the horizon— and rumors of the Khan’ s return brewing— a band of unlikely allies are also on their own missions. There’ s Sali, a gruff warrior who is also forging a path different from the one her culture created for her, and Qisami, an assassin whose cold heart might actually be made of gold. And Taishi has gathered a band of other elderly grandmasters to help Jian live up to his destiny.

Because some heroes aren’ t simply born legends— they choose to become legendary. And great heroes do not stand alone but are stronger together.
