Anthony Reynolds: Ruination: A League of Legends Novel, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

From the blockbuster universe of League of Legends comes an epic tale of magic, revenge, and an empire on the verge of ruin.

Camavor is a brutal land with a bloody legacy. Where the empire's knights go, slaughter follows.

Kalista seeks to change that. When her young and narcissistic uncle, Viego, becomes king, she vows to temper his destructive instincts, as his loyal confidant, advisor, and military general. But her plans are thwarted when an assassin's poisoned blade strikes Viego's wife, Isolde, afflicting her with a malady for which there is no cure.

As Isolde's condition worsens, Viego descends into madness and grief, threatening to drag Camavor down with him. Kalista makes a desperate gambit to save the kingdom: she searches for the long lost Blessed Isles, rumored to hold the queen's salvation, if only Kalista can find them.

But corruption grows in the Blessed Isles' capital, home to powerful relics that could shatter the world in the wrong hands. For years, its masters have relegated Erlok Grael to the contemptible position of warden, guarding the vaults that hold the least consequential of magical artifacts. Long has Grael craved retribution--and when a stranger breaches the isles' arcane defenses, he forms a plan...

As a web of madness and cruelty seeks to ensnare Kalista, she must choose between her loyalty to Viego and doing what she knows is right--for even in the face of utter darkness, one noble act can shine a light that saves the world.
