Helping the helpless can be a pain in the backside, especially if magic's involved.
Will just wants a peaceful life, but when he takes pity on a crippled vagrant who thinks he's the wronged King of Aeoland, things become very complicated very quickly.
Choked by a black-clad sorcerer, attacked by an enchanted amulet, and almost getting his head chopped off by outlaws, Will is thrown into making a choice that might just determine the fate of the kingdom. Can he stay in once piece long enough to discover the truth behind the crazed myth-making of The Broken King? And what might he discover about himself in the process?
The Broken King is a fast-moving fantasy adventure, introducing the cynical but good-hearted Will the Wayfarer, self-styled 'finest archer in the kingdom'. If you love the wit and humour of Joe Abercrombie or Scott Lynch, then you might just fall for Will...
