Biographical note

Mark Lawrence was born in Champagne-Urbanan, Illinois, to British parents but moved to the UK at the age of one. He went back to the US after taking a PhD in mathematics at Imperial College to work on a variety of research projects including the ‘Star Wars’ missile defence programme. Returning to the UK, he has worked mainly on image processing and decision/reasoning theory. He says he never had any ambition to be a writer so was very surprised when a half-hearted attempt to find an agent turned into a global publishing deal overnight. His first trilogy, The Broken Empire, has been universally acclaimed as a ground-breaking work of fantasy. Mark is married, with four children, and lives in Bristol.

From the critically-acclaimed author of PRINCE OF FOOLS comes the third volume of the brilliant new epic fantasy series, THE RED QUEEN’S WAR. All the horrors of Hell stand between Snorri Ver Snagason and the rescue of his family, if indeed the dead can be rescued. For Jalan Kendeth getting out alive and with Loki’s Key is all that matters. The key can open any lock and possession of it may enable Jal to to return to the three Ws that have been the core of his debauched life: wine, women, and wagering. But the Wheel of Osheim is turning ever faster and it will crack the world unless it’s stopped. When the end of all things looms, and there’s nowhere to run, even the worst coward must find new answers

‘There are special rewards in store here for readers of the Broken Empire series. Highly recommended’ ROBIN HOBB ‘Mark Lawrence is the best thing to happen to fantasy in recent years’ PETER V. BRETT ‘Marks an unbroken and steady ascent to the top of my favourite-fantasy pile. Lawrence gets better with each book he writes’ MYKE COLE ‘Reminds me of when I first discovered Gemmell and Hobb and I can't wait for the next instalment’ DAVID CHADWICK ‘The brisk adventure and black magic will leave readers eager for the next chapter in the series’ Publisher’s Weekly ‘Lawrence improves with every book he writes and if he keeps on like this, we may have to turn the ratings system up to eleven. Magnificent, and highly recommended’ Starburst Magazine ‘Mark Lawrence should be commended on another excellent book of The Red Queen’s War trilogy that gives enough information to make the reader want more’ Impulse Gamer ‘The dialogue is a humorous, frightening lullaby that flawlessly depicts this dark, disturbing universe and its meticulously constructed characters, both friends and fiends’ RT Book Reviews

• The third volume in the second series from the critically-acclaimed author Mark Lawrence, the brightest new star in epic fantasy • Set in the same world as THE BROKEN EMPIRE, THE WHEEL OF OSHEIM shows us the world of the Broken Empire with a thicker vein of humour than Jorg’s tale, but it’s the same bloodstained place. This new series will stand alone, but fans of THE BROKEN EMPIRE will love the references to Jorg in the background • PRINCE OF THORNS and KING OF THORNS were named one of Goodreads Top 10 Fantasy Books of 2011 and 2012 • The British answer to George R. R. Martin’s A GAME OF THRONES • UK-based author means plenty of opportunity for a large campaign across national press and genre press • Includes an extract of RED SISTER: the exciting new series top be published in 2017 Competition: Sins Of Empire; Kings Of The Wyld; The Core; Skullsworn; Game of Thrones; Prince of Thorns. Joe Abercrombie; George RR Martin; Jay Kristoff; Nicholas Eames; Peter V. Brett; Brandon Sanderson; Peter Newman; Joe Abercrombie
