Brown, New York Times bestselling author of A Song of Wraiths and Ruin "Realm Breaker is the kind of book you take with you to your favorite reading chair.

This is a new classic." - Marie Lu, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Skyhunter "An enthralling adventure, a richly imagined world, and the most impossible odds combine to make Realm Breaker an addictive, tightly-paced gem of a book.
