Books like The Skull Throne by Peter V. Brett
The Skull Throne of Krasia stands empty, a grim monument constructed from the skulls of fallen generals and demon princes. It is not merely a seat of honor; its ancient, powerful magic keeps the demon corelings at bay.
From its uppermost positions, Ahmann Jardir was destined to lead a unified army and bring an end to the demon war. Yet, the Warded Man, Arlen Bales, opposed the triumphal vision, demanding a duel that he could not in honor refuse. This clash sets the stage for an epic struggle between ambition and protection, magic and mortal resolve.
