'THE EMPEROR'S BLADES'
TO BECOME EPIC TV SERIES
Another epic TV series is possibly on its way! As Deadline reports, Legion M has bought rights on Brian Staveley’s bestselling fantasy epic saga The Chronicle of the Unhewn Throne, which has been translated in 12
languages so far, with an aim to turn it into THE EMPEROR'S BLADES series with Weta Workshop helping them with the visual look.

| The trilogy started back in 2014 |
In The Emperor's Blades Valyn, Kaden and Adare, the three adult
children of the recently assassinated Annurian Emperor, have not seen
each other for ten years. Valyn is an officer in the Kettral, an elite
military force that flies covert missions on giant hawks. Kaden, heir to
the throne, trains with the Shin monks high in the Bone Mountains to
achieve an emotionless Zen state of mind — a mysterious prerequisite to
becoming an Annurian Emperor, while Adare remains in the
Dawn Palace.
Now a high minister, she deftly navigates the Machiavellian politics of
the empire. With the murder of their father, the siblings are plunged
into a deep conspiracy that threatens the empire to its core, puts their
lives at risk, and may spell the doom of all humanity if they can’t
work together to stop an ancient enemy

"The unhewn throne" is an interesting phrase . . . .
ReplyDeleteWonder who will hew it?
DeleteProbably one I will skip, but with that many fans, I am sure this is a series that tons will look forward to.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if my publisher will buy the books, my Blood Song by Ryan Anthony translation should come out Friday.
DeleteOoh, an early Christmas release. I hope it does well! If your publisher buys the books, will you get the translation job? I assume yes, but if you are still working on other books, does it pass to someone else?
DeleteYes, my publisher is having a magical weeklong sale garnered with a bunch of new releases from December 20th till 27th, should be fun. I usually get big sagas from them which require tons of time, knowledge and superhuman effort LOL
DeleteIf I had to pick any form of travel, giant hawk would certainly be at the very bottom of my list!
ReplyDeleteYes, we'd much prefer velvet saddled gryphins!
Deleteoh, yes! That sounds fabulous. :)
DeleteDa epic style!
