Discover an epic tale of magic, revenge, and an empire on the verge of ruin in the first ever novel set in the blockbuster universe of League of Legends.

Camavor is a brutal land with a bloody legacy. Where the empire's knights go, slaughter follows.

Kalista seeks to change that. When her young and narcissistic uncle, Viego, becomes king, she vows to temper his destructive instincts, as his loyal confidant, advisor, and military general. But her plans are thwarted when an assassin's poisoned blade strikes Viego's wife, Isolde, afflicting her with a malady for which there is no cure.

As Isolde's condition worsens, Viego descends into madness and grief, threatening to drag Camavor down with him. Kalista makes a desperate gambit to save the kingdom: she searches for the long lost Blessed Isles, rumored to hold the queen's salvation, if only Kalista can find them.

But corruption grows in the Blessed Isles' capital, where a vengeful warden seeks to ensnare Kalista in his cruel machinations. She will be forced to choose between her loyalty to Viego and doing what she knows is right-for even in the face of utter darkness, one noble act can shine a light that saves the world.

Mostly for league players

It’s a nice read for league players, but i think most people won’t like it as much.

Very enjoyable

Absoltely loved it. Storyline was fantastic. Being a league of legends player I did know some of the story before listening to it, however that did not deduct from the experience. Its also worth noting there is plenty of little "easter eggs" hidden such as characters abilities in the game being included in the book. It is however not nessesary to know any of the lore or even have played the game before listening to the book.

no pictures in audible and kindle

the story is great and I enjoyed it greatly, honestly everything is awesome , the production value is very very High , but I'm disappointed.

I'm disappointed because the audiobook doesn't come with pictures and illustrations, I really wanted to see these things as they are described... so I qwnt ahead and bought the book on kindle... again... no pictures ... honestly I'm disappointed...

very very annoyed at this ... I feel like I wasted money on the kindle book since it had no illustrations in it .

and I can't refund it ... whatever . the audio book is great , performance and story is absolutely top notch , love the plot and characters feel real.

5 stars solid
