Every Empire Demands Revolution.

Through assassinations and massacres, in bedrooms and war rooms, a conscripted soldier and an imperial princess haggle over the price of a nation. But some things aren't for sale.

"Clark’s precise, thorough worldbuilding allows this remarkable novel to dive deep into the intricate workings of colonialism, exposing how power structures are maintained through social conditioning and exploring the emotional toll of political conflict. The result is a captivating story that works both as high fantasy and skillful cultural commentary." —PUBLISHER'S WEEKLY Starred Review

"This strong debut is filled with exciting action and worldbulding, intriguing characters dealing with themes of colonization, military conscription and indoctrination, and an explosion of feelings. Readers will be clamoring for more of Touraine and Luca before they finish." —LIBRARY JOURNAL Starred Review

Every Queen Will Take Her Due.

Undoing the tangled web that binds the Balladaire and Qazāl will not be easy, and Touraine and Luca return to Balladaire to reclaim to secure Luca's power and Touraine's freedom.

"Clark's worldbuilding continues to grow...the sequel to The Unbroken extends the deliberate journey towards independence from an empire and the past, and the love in two women’s hearts." – Library Journal, starred review

“Clark’s worldbuilding in The Faithless is just as stellar as in The Unbroken … Where the novel and series shine brightest is in their gritty reckoning with power and humanity and their delivery of an uncompromising worldview in which there are few good choices.” – Locus Magazine

Every God Will Claim a Sacrifice.

Touraine and Luca have everything they thought they wanted, but as enemy armies march on Balladaire, Touraine and Luca will have to decide: stand against it together, or let the storm tear them apart once and for all.

"Clark’s intense conclusion to the “Magic of the Lost” trilogy, after The Faithless, is filled with high-stakes physical and political actions, personal sacrifice, and intertwined relationships. Themes of colonization, revolution, and forgotten magic are woven through with Clark’s hard-hitting, emotion-laden prose." – Library Journal, starred review

“With Fate's Bane, C.L. Clark has written a book that feels like a ballad sung at dusk, or a tale told by torch-light: haunting, ancient, full of bad blood and true love. Gather round, listen close--I promise, you'll never forget it.” —Alix E. Harrow

“Fate's Bane was everything I wanted: a wildly romantic bogland fable, tough and tender by turns, gripping to the last moment. This book is a wonderful well-crafted little thing and I'd recommend it to pretty much everyone.” —Grace Curtis, author of Frontier and Floating Hotel

“Smart and moving, brilliantly paced and gorgeously written, a great tale of daring and duty that delivers a powerful romance.” —Matt Bell, author of Appleseed and Refuse to be Done
