Estarion is Emperor of two lands, the descendant of the Sun god, but he can't wed the common-born woman he loves, the man he loves has vowed to kill him, and unless he can gain control of his subjects and his magic, he will die and plunge the realms into bloody war.
I honestly couldn't get into this book, so... it's up for grabs. The world seemed interesting, it just was too slow getting started for me, despite giving it quite a few tries. This is a sequel to another book, which I will also post here once I find it in my stack.
