The Wall of Storms

Written by Ken Liu

Narrated by Michael Kramer

One of the Time 100 Best Fantasy Books Of All Time

In the much-anticipated sequel to the “magnificent fantasy epic” (NPR) Grace of Kings, Emperor Kuni Garu is faced with the invasion of an invincible army in his kingdom and must quickly find a way to defeat the intruders.

Kuni Garu, now known as Emperor Ragin, runs the archipelago kingdom of Dara, but struggles to maintain progress while serving the demands of the people and his vision. Then an unexpected invading force from the Lyucu empire in the far distant west comes to the shores of Dara—and chaos results.

But Emperor Kuni cannot go and lead his kingdom against the threat himself with his recently healed empire fraying at the seams, so he sends the only people he trusts to be Dara’s savvy and cunning hopes against the invincible invaders: his children, now grown and ready to make their mark on history.

Reviews for The Wall of Storms

[Saj Fitty · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Fascinating, well researched, I couldn’t put it down. Great change of pace from the predominantly euro centric fantasy novels out there.

Probably the best book in the entire Dandelion series, well this or the 4th one!
The Grace of Kings laid the foundation, the Wall of Storms cemented the Dandelion Dynasty as my favorite of all time
