Sword Saint

The epic conclusion to the bestselling Empire of Salt series from master storyteller Conn Iggulden. In the north, a new king of Feal massing an army threatens Darien, the city of the Twelve families. Tellius, Speaker to the Council, plans to rally a band of heroes who once aided Darien in its hour of need. As the war drums sound, a desperate plan unfolds, and the fate of a divided city hangs in the balance. This volume picks up the saga started with Darien and Shiang, continuing the high-stakes drama that fans of Bernard Cornwell and Game of Thrones will appreciate.

A shadow over Darien grows as the approaching army tests the city’s resolve. Tellius’ bold plan to assemble trusted men and women—heroes who can turn the tide—drives the action toward a gripping confrontation and a fateful decision for Darien and its people.

A gripping historical fantasy that blends political intrigue with large-scale warfare, set in a city where loyalties are scarce and trust is hard-won. The narrative builds toward a dramatic culmination that ties together the threads of Darien and Shiang.
