Brian Staveley writes epic fantasy built on political intrigue and military conflict. His Chronicle of the Unhewn Throne trilogy made a strong impression when The Emperor’s Blades debuted in 2014, earning praise for its world-building and the way it split its narrative between three siblings with radically different training and perspectives. The series continued with The Providence of Fire and The Last Mortal Bond.
Staveley followed the original trilogy with Skullsworn, a standalone novel set in the same world, and The Empire’s Ruin, which launches a new series called Ashes of the Unhewn Throne. His short fiction includes contributions to fantasy anthologies alongside other established names in the genre.
