Rulers of Tarmigan #1
Emperor's Fate
In Rhydenar, power isn’t just taken — it’s forged in dragon fire.
The Rhydarian Empire is a land of war, where battles are won with weapons infused with ancient magic. The elite who wield them don’t just command armies — they control the very heart of the Empire, entangling it in a web of corruption and deceit.
Shylo is different. A scholar, not a warrior, he dreams of reaching the Senate — the highest rank a Commoner can achieve without spilling blood. But when the Emperor is assassinated and House Didimo is branded traitorous, Shylo’s life is shattered. He becomes the last of his line, marked for death and forced to flee into the wilderness.
In this harsh and unforgiving land, where monstrous beasts and the shadow of dragons lurk, Shylo encounters a mysterious warrior — lethal, supernatural, and hiding secrets that could bring the Empire to its knees. Together, they embark on a dangerous journey, seeking justice and unraveling a conspiracy that could herald the return of dragons.
The dragons are rising, and with them, the fate of the Empire hangs in the balance.
Step into a world where magic and danger collide in an electrifying sword and sorcery adventure. Join Shylo and his unlikely ally as they uncover the dark secrets behind the Emperor’s fate, navigating a realm brimming with intrigue, fierce battles, and ancient power. In this vividly imagined epic, every choice could mean the difference between survival and doom. Don’t just read about the adventure—live it. Begin your journey today and experience a quest that will keep you on the edge of your seat!

Emporer's Fate starts a little slowly for me - partly because it has a lot to set up and also because I struggled a little with the concept of warriors made of fire that can appear anywhere that fire exists. Still it was well worth the effort because the book just gets better and better as it goes on to the extent that once again I find myself wishing I could have the next instalment now.
The book bristles with magic, swords and armour made of dragon scales and bones, strange and dangerous beasts, warriors of all types, people with amazing powers, political intrigue, murder, and pretty much everything else you could throw into a fantasy book. Yet it is measured and well written with key characters that you actually start to care about more and more as the story continues.
I was lucky enough to receive an ARC edition in order to prepare this objective review.

I think I have loved every book by AJ Walker and this one is no different. As in the other series, this brand new series comes with awesome world building, unique magic, a fun set of characters and a twisting and turning plot. We get to follow a few sets of characters in a plot that weaves various elements together by the end. I absolutely cannot wait until the next book in the series comes out!
I received an ARC and am reviewing this book voluntarily. Can’t wait for the next in what will surely be another great series by AJ Walker!
