The Time of Troubles ITwo Complete Novels in the Popular Videssos Series.The Stolen Throne Abivard, son of a Makuran lord who also had fallen in the same battle, realized that his only hope of saving his family and his land was to find the missing heir, though that would mean he would be branded traitor and become the target of every armed man who served the usurper—and of his nation’s most powerful sorcerers. Abrivard’s only hope lay in the form of a perplexing prophecy of a field, a hill, and a shield shining across the sea. If the prophecy was true, it might lead him to the rightful ruler of Makuran—but first, he would have to survive long enough to solve its riddle. Hammer and Anvil None within the empire dared oppose Genesios, but young Maniakes, exiled with his father to a faraway island, raised a military force and set out to liberate his homeland. The forces against him were formidable, he faced Videssos’ external foes as well as the legions of the tyrant, and a former friend would prove to be his most dangerous enemy.
