The dazzling story of a boy who rises from poverty and
hardship to become the greatest leader his world has ever
known
KRISPOS RISING Born a ragged peasant,
Krispos lives on the family farm until crushing taxes
drove him from the land he calls home. With only a single
gold piece to his name–a gift from a nomad chieftain who
claimed it carried magic–Krispos heads for the imperial
capital, Videssos, and into a world of peril and
possibility.
KRISPOS OF VIDESSOS Krispos’ reign
as emperor of Videssos shows every sign of being brief and
very bloody–for trouble is brewing. Civil war has erupted,
and as rebel troops take the field against the untried
emperor, outland raiders are sweeping down from the
northlands in a tide of carnage. How long can Krispos hope
to keep head and crown together?
KRISPOS THE
EMPEROR A strange heresy has taken root in the land and
soon dissent flares into open revolt as Krispos faces his
greatest challenge: To save his empire from tearing itself
apart, he wages an evermore desperate war against an
implacable foe, setting brother against brother and father
against son.
