Publisher Description
“David Anthony Durham has serious chops. I can’t wait to read whatever he writes next."
—George R. R. Martin
Welcome to Acacia . . .
Born into generations of prosperity, the four royal children of the Akaran dynasty know little of the world outside their opulent island paradise. But when an assassin strikes at the heart of their power, their lives are changed forever.
Forced to flee to distant corners and separated against their will, the children must navigate a web of hidden allegiances, ancient magic, foreign invaders, and illicit trade that will challenge their very notion of who they are. As they come to understand their true purpose in life, the fate of the world lies in their hands.
Customer Reviews
Decent story, awful trope
Go big or go home I guess. A small, slight girl becomes a sword master in a month. So much so she can defeat men who have trained their whole lives? I thought it was a joke.
She can also perform feats of magic in one evening of effort her older brother never could after what seemed months of effort?
The word for this is girlboss. Instantly overpowered, perfect in every way and any fault is that of the person audacious enough to judge. The trope that makes any story predictable, lame, and boring is the girlboss who has plot armor like no other.
I have not and will not read any more in this series. There is zero chance the beta male little brother or either of the girlboss sisters die or fail to take over the world.
