Legend meets history in this mesmerising novel from Number One New York Times bestselling author Caleb Carr, author of The Alienist.

Some years ago, a remarkable manuscript long rumoured to exist was discovered: The Legend of Broken. It tells of a prosperous fortress city where order reigns at the point of a sword - even as scheming factions secretly vie for control of the surrounding kingdom. Meanwhile, outside the city's granite walls, an industrious tribe of exiles known as the Bane forages for sustenance in the wilds of Davon Wood.

At every turn, the lives of Broken's defenders and its would-be destroyers intertwine and together, they hope to exact a ruinous revenge on Broken, ushering in a day of reckoning when the mighty walls will be breached forever in a triumph of science over superstition.

Breathtakingly profound and compulsively readable, Caleb Carr's long-awaited new book is an action-packed and enthralling masterpiece.

Industry Reviews

"An excellent and old-fashioned entertainment . . . "The Legend of Broken" seamlessly blends epic adventure with serious research and asks questions that men and women grappled with in the Dark Ages and still do today."--"The Washington Post" "A sprawling fantasy saga . . . Caleb Carr boldly goes where he's never gone before."--"USA Today"" " "Carr keeps the action hurtling along with a steady diet of gruesome murders and political betrayals. And he clearly wants modern readers to see something of their own world in the political corruption and greed that ultimately doom Broken."--"The Boston Globe"
