Everything epic fantasy should be: rich, cruel, gorgeous, brilliant, enthralling and deeply, deeply satisfying. I loved it.--Lev Grossman, author of The Magicians

When destiny calls, there's no fighting back.

Kihrin grew up in the slums of Quur, a thief and a minstrel's son raised on tales of long-lost princes and magnificent quests. When he is claimed against his will as the missing son of a treasonous prince, Kihrin finds himself at the mercy of his new family's ruthless power plays and political ambitions.

Practically a prisoner, Kihrin discovers that being a long-lost prince is nothing like what the storybooks promised. The storybooks have lied about a lot of other things, too: dragons, demons, gods, prophecies, and how the hero always wins.

Then again, maybe he isn't the hero after all. For Kihrin is not destined to save the world.

He's destined to destroy it.

Jenn Lyons begins the Chorus of Dragons series with The Ruin of Kings, an epic fantasy novel about a man who discovers his fate is tied to the future of an empire.

It's impossible not to be impressed with the ambition of it all . . . a larger-than-life adventure story about thieves, wizards, assassins and kings to dwell in for a good long while.--The New York Times

Excellent Read. Highly recommend.
Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
I can't believe how much I loved this book. It was so well written, and it kept me interested to the very last page. I couldn't put it down. If you're looking for a coming-of-age book with a lot of twists and turns and some feminism thrown in this book is for you it gave me a lot to think about. Way to go Deborah Curtis on your first novel. I hope you'll be publishing more.

not too shabby
Format: Kindle
This book reminds me of a Jane Austin novel. She writes like Jane Austin. The author did a good job with realism, life is painful and there was a plethora of that in this book. I do like how it ended even though I’m not a huge fan of Lilys choices. I’m not sure she deserved her ending, she reconciled one tragedy in her life but several others are still waiting for her to take responsibility for. It was worth the read.

You'll want to talk about this read!
Format: Hardcover
Read this novel when it first came out and still thinking and talking about it. Great read for a book club --- each reader may have different take away topics - young love, sisterhood, friendship, forgiveness, motherhood. I just bought several copies to give to some powerhouse women. Keep writing D Curtis. Your Fan.

I was skeptical, but for me, this one works.
Size: 90 Count (Pack of 1)
I am usually skeptical of these "improve-your-whatever-with-this" products. But much to my surprise, for me this one lives up to the hype. After about a week, there was as noticeable improvement in my overall memory, especially older memories. My recall is faster, I retain things longer, and learn new things more quickly. As a side benefit, I am also now able to quickly find alternative solutions to everyday problems that come up.

GREAT product!! No complaints at all!
Size: 90 Count (Pack of 1)
So I got this product as an experiment. I don’t like taking prescriptions - but that is just me. I have the most boring job on the planet. And it’s all I can do to make it just through the morning without falling asleep. when I saw this product, I decided to give it a try. I am totally and completely shocked how well this works. It doesn’t make me jittery at all. It just makes me feel alive and alert and ready to roll. And I can focus on the monotonous tasks at my job. When I do take them, I have to take them in the morning. they do last all day - again - this is for me. but I found when I took them in the afternoon, I was still wide awake at 1:00am. Which put a damper on my trying to drag myself out of bed and to work at the most boring job ever.
