The War of the Twelve series by Alex Robins is a four-book epic fantasy published between 2021 and 2022. The series depicts a war involving twelve ancient powers, with each book focusing on a different city and the force associated with it.
The title format (The Broken Heart of Arelium, The Ashen Hand of Kessrin, The Burning Tears of Morlak, The Obsidian Eyes of Klief) gives each book a distinct identity while maintaining the series’ unifying structure. Robins uses the body-part imagery to connect each location to a visceral, almost anatomical sense of power, making the war feel physical as well as political.
