About this listen

Nominated for the Goodreads Choice Award and a Nebula Award

Every empire demands a revolution.

Touraine is a soldier. Stolen as a child and raised to kill and die for the empire, her only loyalty is to her fellow conscripts. But now, her company has been sent back to her homeland to stop a rebellion and the ties of blood may be stronger than she thought.

Luca needs a turncoat. Someone desperate enough to tiptoe the bayonet's edge between treason and orders. Someone who can sway the rebels toward peace, while Luca focuses on what really matters: getting her uncle off her throne.

Through assassinations and massacres, in bedrooms and war rooms, Touraine and Luca will haggle over the price of a nation. But some things aren't for sale.

In a political fantasy unlike any other, debut author C. L. Clark spins an epic tale of rebellion, espionage and military might on the far outreaches of a crumbling desert empire.

2022, Nebula Award for Best Novel, Winner

Critic reviews

Clark gives us an unflinching story of colonialism and revolution and the people caught between. The Unbroken grabs you by the collar, breaks your heart over its knee, and mends it. An astonishing debut (Andrea Stewart, author of The Bone Shard Daughter)
It doesn't take long to realize The Unbroken is something special. I'm going to need book two ASAP (David Dalglish)
Grabs you by the throat and doesn't let go. A perfect military fantasy: brutal, complex, human and impossible to put down (Tasha Suri)
Get ready to fall in love with Touraine and Luca in one of the best fantasy debuts I have ever read! (Matt Wallace, Hugo Award winner and author of the Savage Rebellion series)
Rife with political, familial, and romantic tension, The Unbroken is a riveting epic fantasy about a city on the knife's edge of rebellion, a tangle of alliances, and a desperate search for magic and hope (K.A. Doore, author of The Perfect Assassin)

it's ok

(slight spoilers)
it was okay, but I was a bit put off by the presumption of the main character. she willingly sabotages plans for peace, thinking that actual conflict will save soldiers!?
it's also about empowered women, and yet... and the men in the story are either rapist evil emperor or ...
