The Art of Legend - Hardcover

by Wesley Chu (Author)

A humbled prince, a grumpy grandmaster, and a ragtag band of heroes find out what it takes to become truly legendary, in the conclusion to the epic fantasy trilogy lauded as "dramatic, fun, thoughtful, clever, and (literally) punchy" (Kirkus Reviews).

"Electrifying, thrilling, and a glorious, romantic ride."--Robert Jackson Bennett on The Art of Prophecy

Once in a faraway kingdom there was a man prophesied to be the chosen one, who would defeat a great villain, the Eternal Khan, and save the kingdom.

But then the Eternal Khan died . . . and the prophecy was broken.

For Jian, the fated hero, this could have been a moment to succumb to despair. But instead, he chose to create his own destiny. He studied under Taishi, his curmudgeonly but beloved mentor, to become a great warrior.

With war on the horizon--and rumors of the Khan's return brewing--a band of unlikely allies are also on their own missions. There's Sali, a gruff warrior who is also forging a path different from the one her culture created for her, and Qisami, an assassin whose cold heart might actually be made of gold. And Taishi has gathered a band of other elderly grandmasters to help Jian live up to his destiny.

Because some heroes aren't simply born legends--they choose to become legendary. And great heroes do not stand alone but are stronger together.
