PRINCE OF FOOLS
Book ID/图书代码： 12100014B68082
English Summary/英文概要： Hailed as “epic fantasy on a George R. R. Martin scale, but on speed” (Fixed on Fantasy), the Broken Empire trilogy introduced a bold new world of dark fantasy with the story of Jorg Ancrath’s devastating rise to power. Now, Mark Lawrence returns to the Broken Empire with the tale of a less ambitious prince…
The Red Queen is old but the kings of the Broken Empire dread her like no other. For all her reign, she has fought the long war, contested in secret, against the powers that stand behind nations, for higher stakes than land or gold. Her greatest weapon is The Silent Sister—unseen by most and unspoken of by all.
The Red Queen’s grandson, Prince Jalan Kendeth—drinker, gambler, seducer of women—is one who can see The Silent Sister. Tenth in line for the throne and content with his role as a minor royal, he pretends that the hideous crone is not there. But war is coming. Witnesses claim an undead army is on the march, and the Red Queen has called on her family to defend the realm. Jal thinks it’s all a rumor—nothing that will affect him—but he is wrong.
After escaping a death trap set by the Silent Sister, Jal finds his fate magically intertwined with a fierce Norse warrior. As the two undertake a journey across the Empire to undo the spell, encountering grave dangers, willing women, and an upstart prince named Jorg Ancrath along the way, Jalan gradually catches a glimmer of the truth: he and the Norseman are but pieces in a game, part of a series of moves in the long war—and the Red Queen controls the board.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： “破碎帝国”三部曲被称为与乔治•马丁的史诗奇幻作品同一级别，但却堪称其升级加速版本，在这一系列作品中，马克•劳伦斯首先用乔戈•安克拉斯获得权势的惊人故事，带领我们走进了一个充满黑色幻想的勇敢新世界。如今，他将用另一名不太有野心的王子故事带领读者们重回破碎帝国。。。。。。
红后如今年事已高，但破碎帝国的国王们仍旧对她畏惧不已。因为在她统治期间，她经历过漫长的战争，为了秘密而奋战争夺，她抵抗过那些试图暗中摧毁王国的势力，她的目标绝对远远高于领土与黄金。她最强大的武器莫过于“沉默姐妹”---绝大多数人们都看不见她，而任谁也不能提起她的名字。
红后的外孙，王子加蓝•肯戴斯是一名酗酒者、赌徒，同时也是诱怪犯，却是能够看见“沉默姐妹”的人之一。作为王位的第十顺位继承人，他很满意自己当下作为一名次要王室成员的角色，并假装那个可恶的干瘪老太婆并不在那里。然而战争正在临近。见证者声称一只不死的军队正在逼近，红后正召集家人们去护卫国家。加蓝觉得这一切都只不过是谣传----对他而言一切都不会改变---然而这一次他却错了。在侥幸逃离了沉默姐妹设下的一个致命圈套后，加蓝发现自己的命运与一名勇猛的诺斯战士的命运神奇地纠缠在了一起。当两人踏上了一场穿越整个王国的征程，去寻求解开魔咒的方法时，他们遭遇了各种可怕的危险，遇到了乐意帮助他们的女人，并在路上遇到了刚刚起步的王子乔戈•安克拉斯，加蓝慢慢认识到了一切的真谛：他与诺斯战士都只不过是一场游戏中的棋子而已，是一个漫长战争中的一部分布局---红后才是真正掌控全局的幕后黑手。（DC）
