Age of Empyre

In the climactic conclusion to Michael J. Sullivan's Legends of the First Empire series, "Age of Empyre" plunges Elan into the final, desperate stages of the Great War between the Fhrey and the Rhunes. With the Fhrey leader, Maribor, now wielding an army of dragons thanks to a dark secret, the balance of power has once again shifted, but at a terrible cost to his own people. As the fate of all living beings hangs precariously, a diverse cast of heroes must rise to the challenge. Imaly, disillusioned by Maribor's transgressions, schemes from within to reclaim his people's dignity, while a mystic and a keeper represent the Rhunes' last hope against overwhelming odds. Time is critically short as ancient prophecies unfold and a new world order beckons. This epic fantasy not only brings a generation-spanning conflict to its thrilling resolution but also lays the foundational history for the Riyria tales, revealing the hidden truths and the legendary figures who forged Elan's destiny three millennia before.
