The Broken Tower

They said the Tower of Akken would stand until the world ended. Funny thing. It did.

The war lasted one night. The golems that guarded Akken's walls for centuries turned inward, and by dawn the city belongs to Veronna, and to the dead. The Tower burns above it all, three spires down, flames in colors fire shouldn't come in. Somebody has to keep what's left alive.

Parn Trippers didn't ask for the job. But the law needs a face, so several hundred surviving constables hold an election in a field and hand him the whole ruin: first constable of a conquered city. No Tower, no chips, no rulebook, and a conqueror across the negotiating table who happens to be a friend. They'll get him the hat later.

Steya Danan is wanted for murder by her own House. Vani Brattle walked out of that night alive, which should have been impossible, and changed, which is worse. And in the bones of the broken Tower, something is still awake.

For readers of Mark Lawrence and Patrick Rothfuss: a dark, immersive world where the aftermath is deadlier than the war, and hope is an act of stubbornness.
