"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.

The Ruin of Kings

"Everything epic fantasy should be: rich, cruel, gorgeous, brilliant, enthralling and deeply, deeply satisfying. I loved it."—Lev Grossman on The Ruin of Kings You can have everything you want if you sacrifice everything you believe. Kihrin D'Mon is a wanted man. Since he destroyed the Stone of Shackles and set demons free across Quur, he has been on the run from the wrath of an entire empire. His attempt to escape brings him into the path of Janel Theranon, a mysterious Joratese woman who claims to know Kihrin. Janel's plea for help pits Kihrin against all manner of dangers: a secret rebellion, a dragon capable of destroying an entire city, and Kihrin's old enemy, the wizard Relos Var. Janel believes that Relos Var possesses one of the most powerful artifacts in the world—the Cornerstone called the Name of All Things. And if Janel is right, then there may be nothing in the world that can stop Relos Var from getting what he wants. And what he wants is Kihrin D'Mon. Jenn Lyons continues the Chorus of Dragons series with The Name of All Things, the epic sequel to The Ruin of Kings

The Name of All Things

The Memory of Souls is the third epic fantasy in Jenn Lyons’ Chorus of Dragons series. THE LONGER HE LIVES THE MORE DANGEROUS HE BECOMES Now that Relos Var’s plans have been revealed and demons are free to rampage across the empire, the fulfillment of the ancient prophecies—and the end of the world—is closer than ever. To buy time for humanity, Kihrin needs to convince the king of the Manol vané to perform an ancient ritual which will strip the entire race of their immortality, but it’s a ritual which certain vané will do anything to prevent. Including assassinating the messengers. Worse, Kihrin must come to terms with the horrifying possibility that his connection to the king of demons, Vol Karoth, is growing steadily in strength. How can he hope to save anyone when he might turn out to be the greatest threat of them all? A Chorus of Dragons 1: The Ruin of Kings 2: The Name of All Things 3: The Memory of Souls

Kihrin has his own ideas about how to fight back, but even if he's willing to sacrifice everything for victory, the cost may prove too high for his allies. Now they face a choice: can they save the world while saving Kihrin, too? Or will they be forced to watch as he becomes the very evil they have all sworn to destroy.

Der Untergang der Könige

Gods, demons and dragons collide in one final epic battle in The Discord of Gods, the unmissable conclusion to A Chorus of Dragons by Jenn Lyons. One curse. One man. One destiny. Relos Var's plans to enslave the universe near completion. All that stands in his way is the demon Xaltorath – or so he believes. For Kihrin could still alter the course of this war, despite being caught between these two masterminds. Yet he’s playing the most dangerous of games, as he appears to assume his prophesied role: as a destroyer, the sun eater, a mindless, remorseless plague upon the land. All this, while still protecting his allies and those he loves. But even as Kihrin seeks an eleventh-hour reprieve for the universe, his body threatens to betray him. He's grappling with the aftereffects of a corrupted magical ritual, one that twisted both him and the last dragons. Worse, he’s now bound to the avatar of a star – a form that’s becoming catastrophically unstable. All of which means he's running out of time. After all, some stars fade . . . but others explode. The Discord of Gods is the fifth and final book in Jenn Lyons’ epic fantasy series A Chorus of Dragons, which starts with The Ruin of Kings. Praise for A Chorus of Gods: ‘Everything epic fantasy should be: rich, cruel, gorgeous, brilliant, enthralling and deeply, deeply satisfying. I loved it’ – Lev Grossman, author of The Magicians ‘A fantastic page-turner’ – John Gwynne, author of A Time of Dread ‘This is top-notch adventure fantasy’ – Kirkus Reviews, starred review

Le Nom de Toutes Choses

»Lyons schreibt so gewaltig und schicksalhaft wie Patrick Rothfuss.« Booklist »Lyons jongliert souverän mit den Kernmotiven der Fantasy und stellt sie zuweilen sogar auf den Kopf. Und gleichzeitig verleiht sie ihren vielschichtigen Figuren eine enorme Tiefe und lässt sie episch-große Schlachten mit zahllosen Opfern schlagen.« Booklist Während die Dämonen durch das Empire wüten, treten die finsteren Pläne des Zauberers Relos Var immer offener zutage. So rückt die Erfüllung der alten Prophezeiung – und damit das Ende der Welt – näher denn je zuvor. Um Zeit zu gewinnen, versucht Kihrin den König der Manol Vané zu überzeugen, ein uraltes Ritual durchzuführen. Es betrifft die Unsterblichkeit dieses ganzen Volkes der Elben. Und Kihrin muss verzweifelt wahrhaben, dass er immer tiefer in die Verbindung zu dem Dämonenkönig Vol Karoth verstrickt ist. Wie kann er die Menschheit retten, wenn vielleicht von ihm selbst die größte Gefahr ausgeht? Diese Frage steht im Mittelpunkt dieses dritten Bandes der Drachengesänge.
