Now in paperback, this is the final book in the "Broken Empire" fantasy series, following on from "Prince Of Thorns" and "King Of Thorns". The path to the throne is broken, and only the broken can walk it, the world is cracked and time has run through, leaving us clutching at the end days. 'Excellent, on a par with George R.R. Martin' Conn Iggulden

Mark Lawrence is married with four children, one of whom is severely disabled. His day job is as a research scientist focused on various rather intractable problems in the field of artificial intelligence. He has held secret level clearance with both US and UK governments. At one point he was qualified to say 'this isn't rocket science ... oh wait, it actually is'.
Between writing and caring for his disabled child, Mark spends his time playing computer games, tending an allotment, brewing beer, and avoiding DIY.
