Review:
"Gritty and glorious! A great read."―Miles Cameron, author of The Traitor Son Cycle
"Fierce, gripping fantasy, exquisitely written; bitter, funny, and heart-rending by turns."―Adrian Tchaikovsky, Arthur C. Clarke Award winner for Children of Time
"Grim, gritty, and fast paced; with great battles scenes! Anna Smith-Spark is one to watch."―Andy Remic, author of the Blood Dragon Empire series
"Anna Smith Spark's debut The Court of Broken Knives is a fevered dream of a fantasy, set in a world where the saviors also seem to be the destroyers . . . . This book may not make you worship death like its characters do, but it weaves a spell that will consume you all the same."―B&N Sci-Fi & Fantasy Blog
"Anna Smith-Spark writes in a unique voice with such pace and veracity your imagination has to struggle to keep up with your eyes."―Adrian Collins, Grimdark Magazine
"Captivating."―Marc Turner, author of the Chronicles of the Exile series
"Holy crap, this is good!"―Grim Tidings
"All hail the queen of grimdark fantasy!"
―Michael R. Fletcher, author of Beyond Redemption
"Spark's gripping debut is definitely one to read and prize."―Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"Spark's first novel lives up to its billing as a 'grimdark' tale. The setting may be bleak and dreary, but the worldbuilding is well done and the characters fit right in. Troubled, solitary and downright drug-addled as the protagonist is, readers will come around to his side as the reasons why he seeks for the throne he lost are revealed."―RT Book Reviews
"This outstanding, unputdownable debut holds and horrifies like a blood-spattered tapestry. There's rough humour, high drama and a love of story-telling that shines through every page. Plus it's got dragons with bad breath. Brilliant."―The Daily Mail (UK)
"Should appeal to grim dark fans looking for the extreme edge."―Kirkus

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Perfect for fans of Mark Lawrence and R Scott Bakker, The Court of Broken Knives is the explosive debut by one of grimdark fantasys most exciting new voices. Theyve finally looked at the graveyard of our Empire with open eyes. Theyre fools and madmen and like the art of war. And their children go hungry while we piss gold and jewels into the dust.In the richest empire the world has ever known, the city of Sorlost has always stood, eternal and unconquered. But in a city of dreams governed by an imposturous Emperor, decadence has become the true ruler, and has blinded its inhabitants to their vulnerability. The empire is on the verge of invasion and only one man can see it.Haunted by dreams of the empires demise, Orhan Emmereth has decided to act. On his orders, a company of soldiers cross the desert to reach the city. Once they enter the Palace, they have one mission: kill the Emperor, then all those who remain. Only from ashes can a new empire be built.The company is a group of good, ordinary soldiers, for whom this is a mission like any other. But the strange boy Marith who walks among them is no ordinary soldier. Marching on Sorlost, Marith thinks he is running away from the past which haunts him. But in the Golden City, his destiny awaits him beautiful, bloody, and more terrible than anyone could have foreseen. Perfect for fans of Mark Lawrence and R Scott Bakker, The Court of Broken Knives is the explosive debut by one of grimdark fantasys most exciting new voices.
