I founded my empire on lies and bloodshed. Thus they are built. Some name me cursed, but I am an immortal emperor. Attend to my tale. If you dare....

I was born when the world was a glorious place, but my parents were betrayed and murdered. I was raised by my sister in fear and poverty instead. That was merely the beginning.

I lived through untold death and destruction when the old world was shattered, when creations turned against creators and a new evil rose to assert power.

I fought back against the new order and broke humankind free from the shackles of terror that enslaved them. I discovered secrets beyond the lore of all other sorcerers, knowledge that ensures my people will not lack a shepherd on their long march through eternity.

And yet the ungrateful world forgets.

Bites the hand that feeds it.

Comes for me with armies.

Sharpens the assassin’s blade.

Do you think that I, immortal emperor, greatest of all sorcerers, guardian of my people, will not meet you with fire, sorcery, and steel?

I’m a big fan of Mitch Hogan and his Necromancer series , so I tried my hand on this one.

This is the prequel trilogy writing on another one that he wrote so I figure I’ll start here.

Only bad thing is I had to wait till the other books are written before I go to the other series.
what it about ?
It’s about a God emperor and an assassin who is hired to kill the Good Emperor and how they meet !

So the would be assassin is giving him an open window to bring up why he shouldn’t kill him !!

So this is the storytelling time where the God Emperor starts at a very young age in his story when he was called Zah.
It does go back-and-forth on the timeline from Zah to God Emperor good morning Joe doing well and you talk to me on speaker like the mattress in the present and little Zah in the past ..it’s like a coming of age story .

Like always, Mitch Hogan’s world building and his magic system is awesome. I never complain with his books because he is very creative!

I do need to apologize to him because he sent me the arc to Crucible of Lies over a year ago!!!

so when I realized never wrote a review on his, I felt bad I noticed that the audio finally came out and purchased it! Oh, by the way, the narrator was spot on for me. I loved it !!
And just finished listening to it and reading giving a 4.5 stars

Awesome
