The
Suicide Squad in the first volume of Joe Abercrombie’s new fantasy series. No one is more surprised than she is when Alex, a street urchin and very small-time petty crook, learns that her true identity is Alexia Pyrogennetos, the long-lost daughter of the late Empress Irene and heir to the Serpent Throne of Troy. However, before the very surprised royal heiress can be installed on the throne that’s rightfully hers, there’s the small matter of travelling across Europe while navigating assassin attempts, local wars and the hostile attentions of Alex’s newfound cousins, who all fancy the throne for themselves.
