Publisher Description

From an unmissable voice in epic fantasy comes the final novel in a trilogy where guilds clash, magic fuels machines, and an all-out war has consumed an empire.

“Ford succeeds in building a complex fantasy world, complete with warring factions, fearsome creatures, and bloody struggles for power . . . Fans of R.A. Salvatore’s DemonWars Saga will be especially hooked.” –– Publishers Weekly on Engines of Empire

“A heady blend of action, arcana, and intrigue.” –– Gareth Hanrahan, author of The Gutter Prayer, on Engines of Empire

"The latest from Ford is the first in a new series that will give fantasy readers exactly what they want: conspiracy, magic, a delectable cast of characters, and an ending that will leave them begging to know what happens next." –– Booklist on Engines of Empire

"The ensemble cast of deeply portrayed and emotionally connectives characters, coupled with an impressively intricate storyline, makes for a highly entertaining read. Additionally, the novel’s structure—alternating back and forth among numerous story arcs—gives this doorstopper a continuous sense of immediacy and momentum, making for a virtually un-put-down-able read. Fans of shelf-bending fantasy will find this richly described and impressively intricate installment utterly satisfying."

— Kirkus (Starred Review) on Engines of Chaos
