King's Bow

In a world where thrones are claimed by bloody claws and gods lie buried, a hunted heir must unleash the fire in his blood, or see his people butchered and his world devoured. When ruthless invaders descend upon his city and something long-buried stirs beneath the streets, Asher's life is shattered. Forced into exile and pursued by enemies at every turn, he must gather scattered allies and confront the primal forces rising to consume the land. But in a realm where loyalty shifts like the wind and predator lords scheme in the shadows, survival demands sacrifice. A lost relic bound to his bloodline holds the key to uniting his people, though seizing it may cost him everything. As ancient powers awaken and old feuds reignite, the line between friend and foe blurs. The fate of the realm hangs by a thread, and only those who dare to defy the darkness will endure. Perfect for fans of Brandon Sanderson's intricate world-building, John Gwynne's brutal battles, and the epic animal sagas of Brian Jacques.
