Empire of Storms
Book 5 of the Throne of Glass series
Aelin gathers armies and bargains for allies as Erawan's forces spread and old debts across continents come due. Her court divides among missions involving witches, pirates, Fae warriors, and rulers whose support cannot be assumed. Romance and strategy unfold beside a hidden plan whose cost Aelin keeps even from those closest to her. Large and dramatic, this installment suits readers who enjoy converging ensembles, wartime alliances, powerful couples, and cliffhangers created by a queen attempting to carry sacrifice alone.
