The Tower of Living and Dying

A powerhouse story of bloodshed, ambition, and fate, The Tower of Living and Dying is a continuation of Anna Smith Spark's brilliant Empires of Dust trilogy, which began with The Court of Broken Knives. Marith has been a sellsword, a prince, a murderer, a demon, and dead. But something keeps bringing him back to life, and now there is nothing stopping him from taking back the throne that is rightfully his. Thalia, the former high priestess, remains Marith's only tenuous grasp to whatever goodness he has left. His left hand and his last source of light, Thalia still believes that the power that lies within him can be used for better ends. But as more forces gather beneath Marith's banner, she can feel her influence slipping. Read the second book in this "gritty and glorious!" (Miles Cameron) epic fantasy series reminiscent of Joe Abercrombie and Mark Lawrence where the exiled son of a king fights to reclaim his throne no matter the cost.

The first book was a learning curve. 
This book ripped my soul from my chest and screamed through me.

The Tower of Living and Dying does everything the first book did, but the unique prose is spun into a complex, political, diabolical tale of human rot, ruin, greed, lust, despair and ultimately death that is exhilarating and remarkable to read. It is human corruption in written form.

It is a fantastic book.
