Mark Lawrence
A volume of short stories by the bestselling author of The Broken Empire series, Mark Lawrence. This is a collection of fourteen stories of murder, mayhem, pathos, and philosophy, all set in the world of the Broken Empire. Within these pages, you will find tales of men such as Red Kent, Sir Makin, Rike, Burlow and the Nuban, telling of their origins and the events that forged them. There is Jorg himself, striding the page as a child of six, as a teenage wanderer and as a young king. And then there is a tale about Prince Jalan Kendeth - liar, cheat, womaniser and coward. To the new reader, welcome to a lawless world where wit and sword are the most useful weapons, and danger lurks as much in candle-lit palaces as in dark alleys and dense woodland. To those who have already journeyed with Jorg, we hope you will enjoy renewing old acquaintances with your favourite characters.

"After finishing this book, it made me immediately want to delve back into the Broken Empire Trilogy. Usually with Short story books, it'll start with a real page turner, there could be filler in the middle, and end with the best of the bunch. <br/><br/>Instead, I didn't think a single one of these was a filler story. Brother Sim's story, containing one of the best lines I've ever read “Every good story tells at least one lie and holds a secret at its heart” ,provides fantastic depth to a underutilized character in the series. Even the story with Brother Rikke provided backstory that really helped me understand his motivations in the trilogy.<br/><br/>If you are reading the Broken Empire trilogy, this is a must read. I'd especially go for it right after you read Prince of Thorns, but before King of Thorns. <br/><br/>"
