Spanning a thousand years, two timelines, and a cosmic prophecy, Claire Legrand’s The Empirium Trilogy is an astonishing, high fantasy triumph. Following the interlocking destinies of two complex queens, this dark, magical, and fiercely diverse saga delivers an emotionally raw and epic narrative.
Honesty is a trap, but lies can be a cage. The novel follows a morally grey prophet who weaves a web of deceit to survive the royal court. When a fake prophecy awakens a very real curse, Violet must choose between her own ambition and a dangerous attraction to a prince who hates her. A sharp, nostalgic, and wickedly clever reimagining of classic fairy tale themes.
