The Way Into Chaos
by Harry Connolly
The Great Way is an epic fantasy trilogy about a supernatural invasion that destroys an empire.The
city of Peradain is the heart of an empire built with steel, spears,and
a monopoly on magic… until, in a single day, it falls, overthrown by a
swarm of supernatural creatures of incredible power and ferocity.
Neither soldier nor spell caster can stand against them. The
empire's armies are crushed, its people scattered, its king and queen
killed. Freed for the first time in generations, city-states scramble to
seize neighboring territories and capture imperial spell casters. But
as the creatures spread across the land, these formerly conquered
peoples discover they are not prepared to face the enemy that destroyed
an empire. Can the last Peradaini prince, pursued by the beasts
that killed his parents, cross battle-torn lands to retrieve a spell
that might—just might—turn the battle against this new enemy?
