About this listen
The second book in the Broken Empire series, Lawrence takes his young anti-hero one step closer to his grand ambition.
To reach greatness you must step on bodies, and many brothers lie trodden in my wake. I’ve walked from pawn to player and I’ll win this game of ours, though the cost of it may drown the world in blood…
The land burns with the fires of a hundred battles as lords and petty kings fight for the Broken Empire. The long road to avenge the slaughter of his mother and brother has shown Prince Honorous Jorg Ancrath the hidden hands behind this endless war. He saw the game and vowed to sweep the board. First though he must gather his own pieces, learn the rules of play, and discover how to break them.
A six nation army, twenty thousand strong, marches toward Jorg's gates, led by a champion beloved of the people. Every decent man prays this shining hero will unite the empire and heal its wounds. Every omen says he will. Every good king knows to bend the knee in the face of overwhelming odds, if only to save their people and their lands. But King Jorg is not a good king.
Faced by an enemy many times his strength Jorg knows that he cannot win a fair fight. But playing fair was never part of Jorg’s game plan.

My favourite series of all time.
I even named my pet Border Collie Jorg. That's how much I love this series.

such a good series!
Not as compelling of a story line but excellent characters and development. This series is well rounded between action, character development and wisdom. I have never had an antihero that has made me as conflicted are Jorge.

loved it!
Brilliant continuation of the story, complex characters that I loved or hated.. Yorg continues to be dark, unpredictable, intense and loved the narrators voice. Mark is a skilful storyteller!

Series has grown on me
A lot. As much as it is about being brutal and gory and outrageous, it is not predictable.

my new favourite book
this book is great in so many ways. but especially because of the depth of the characters. Jorg is a terrible person but you end up admiring him for his ruthless cunning and ambition.

Outstanding!
I love The Broken Empire series a LOT!
King of Thorns is my favorite. Brutal and very well written. Cannot say enough great things about it and listening to King Jorg's tale while I'm driving, painting, at work and when I can't sleep is awesome.
On to Emperor now.
