Pyrre’s injection into the story gives an interesting counterpoint to the concept of killing, and her skill at dispatching at will proves invaluable to those whom she has been charged with protecting. She is actually a priestess of Ananshael, the god of death. We first meet her as a prattling, vulgar merchant, but it quickly becomes apparent this is a ruse. Within this framework is a very interesting character named Pyrre. While often they sit comfortably in a particular trope (quiet yet powerful, suffering male leader feisty, overlooked younger sister mysterious elder monk with almost inhuman abilities etc.), their depth and complexity is truly mesmerizing. “A complex and richly detailed world filled with elite soldier-assassins, mystic warrior monks, serpentine politics, and ancient secrets.” -Library Journal, starred review, on The Emperor’s Blades At the Publisher’s request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.One of the major strengths of Brian Staveley’s Chronicle of the Unhewn Throne epic fantasy series ( The Emperor’s Blades, The Providence of Fire, The Last Mortal Bond), is his characters. Pyrre’s not afraid to die, but she hates to quit, hates to fail, and so, with a month before her trial begins, she returns to the city of her birth, the place where she long ago offered an abusive father to the god and abandoned a battered brother-in the hope of finding love…and ending it on the edge of her sword. If Pyrre fails to find someone to love, or fails to kill that someone, they will give her to the god. The Priests of Ananshael, however, don’t look kindly on cheaters. If she were a member of a different religious order, a less devoted, disciplined order, she might cheat. To pass her Trial, Pyrre has ten days to kill the ten people enumerated in an ancient song, including “the one you love who will not come again.” Pyrre is not sure she’s ever been in love. Pyrre has been killing and training to kill, studying with some of the most deadly men and women in the world, since she was eight. At least, she will be a priestess if she manages to pass her final trial. She is not, to her mind, an assassin, not a murderer–she is a priestess. It fails to capture the faith and grace, the peace and beauty of her devotion to the God of Death. Pyrre Lakatur doesn’t like the word skullsworn.
