The Grace of Kings by Ken Liu
One of the Time 100 Best Fantasy Books Of All Time Two men rebel together against tyranny--and then become rivals--in this first sweeping book of an epic fantasy series from Ken Liu, recipient of Hugo, Nebula, and World Fantasy awards. Hailed as one of the best books of 2015 by NPR. Wily, charming Kuni Garu, a bandit, and stern, fearless Mata Zyndu, the son of a deposed duke, seem like polar opposites. Yet, in the uprising against the emperor, the two quickly become the best of friends after a series of adventures fighting against vast conscripted armies, silk-draped airships, and shapeshifting gods. Once the emperor has been overthrown, however, they each find themselves the leader of separate factions--two sides with very different ideas about how the world should be run and the meaning of justice. Fans of intrigue, intimate plots, and action will find a new series to embrace in the Dandelion Dynasty.Ken Liu is an award-winning speculative fiction novelist from the United States. The Paper Menagerie and Other Tales, his collection, has been translated into over a dozen languages. The Grace of Kings, The Wall of Storms, The Veiled Throne, and a second collection, The Hidden Girl and Other Tales, are among Liu's other works. He has been engaged in a number of media adaptations of his work, including Netflix's animated series Love, Death + Robots' adaptation of his short tale Good Hunting, and AMC's Pantheon, which is based on an interwoven series of short stories. The Cleaners, The Hidden Girl, and The Message have all been optioned for development.
Liu has worked as a software engineer, a business lawyer, and a litigation consultant in the past. He is a frequent speaker at conferences and universities on topics such as futurism, bitcoin, technology history, and the importance of narrative. Liu lives near Boston, Massachusetts, with his family.
