The Ruin of Kings

In The Ruin of Kings, the first book in the Chorus of Dragons series by Jenn Lyons, Kihrin, a young thief and minstrel's son from the slums of Quur, is unexpectedly thrust into a web of political intrigue when he is claimed as the long-lost son of a treasonous prince. As he navigates his new life, Kihrin learns that the heroic tales he's grown up with are misleading, revealing a darker destiny that may ultimately lead to the world's destruction rather than its salvation. This richly woven epic fantasy captures themes of power, betrayal, and the complexities of fate, presenting a grand adventure filled with unexpected twists.
