A Throne Betrayed

Q: Do I have to buy the ebook to participate in a book club?

No, you don’t have to buy the ebook to participate, but we do recommend it to get the most out of your club. There are several premium social reading features that are only available when you buy the ebook, like annotations, reactions, comment threads, resources, discussion prompts, and more, all embedded right in the text. It’s a unique and immersive way to read.

Q: Why can’t I buy the ebook on the app?

It’s annoying, we know. App store rules prevent us from selling directly in the app, so for now you can only purchase ebooks on our website. Don’t worry: when you purchase an ebook on the web, it’s automatically added to your bookshelf in the app.

Q: How is Fable’s reader different from Kindle?

Kindle is a straightforward e-reader; Fable is an interactive e-reader that includes social features inside the ebooks. When you read an ebook on Fable, you can see and react to the text with others in real time. Start a discussion, share highlights and quotes, add emoji reactions—all of it lives right inside the book. It’s hard to explain and easy to see, so we recommend reading the free sample in one of our most active clubs to get a feel for it.

Q: Do you sell physical books too?

We do not sell physical books at this time. Wish we did? Let us know why here!

Q: Are book clubs free to join on Fable?

Most of our clubs are completely free to join. The only exceptions are clubs marked as “Premium” or “Career Development,” which do require a fee. You can find out more on each club’s detail page.

Q: How do I start a book club with this book on Fable?

The first step is to download the Fable app. From there, you’ll be able to create your own private or public book club and invite others to read with you. Once your club is created, click on the plus sign under “Currently reading” and search for this book to add it to your club.

By Julie Kagawa & J.T. Nicholas

Publisher Description

The Emperor is dead and the Emerald Empire is in turmoil. From New York Times bestselling author Julie Kagawa and J.T. Nicholas comes the thrilling first installment in the definitive story of the Clan Wars.

The Emerald Empire hangs by a thread. The Emperor's murder has brought upheaval across Rokugan, especially now that his sons have vanished. With the political order that has bound the Great Clans together for centuries unravelling, each now dreams of war and power written in ash and blood.

Lawlessness has taken hold, and in its midst the rōnin Toturi, formerly the champion of the Emperor, searches for purpose in the ruins of betrayal, fighting to save what little he can while trying to escape a past desperate to catch up with him. But no man can run forever. Not when the failure of his sacred duty caused the chaos he now fights through.

And as political infighting divides the Imperial Court, another threat rises from beyond the empire's borders. A great horde of demonic horrors is massing, determined to crush the clans and wipe them from existence.

The stage is set for the bloodiest wars the empire has ever seen. And this time, there may be no victors.

“You would enjoy “ A Throne Betrayed” if you like!!! - Political intrigue - Intense sword fighting - Morally gray characters - Captivating character driven plot This was phenomenal, I went in unaware about this book and the world, or that it was a game! Just reeled in by the cover and description. Now I am in love and invested in what will happen next. This follows 3 different POVs from different characters all in different clans. Each clan and person have their own aspirations and how it all slowly weaves together is something special. The writing style is simplistic but descriptive enough that we are able to picture the land and people, while still explaining the confusing political situation. I strongly enjoyed all the world building and this was a great start to a series and really placed all of the chess pieces on the board. !!!!SPOILERS!!!!! YAKAMO!!!!! WHY HAVE THEY DONE MY BABY LIKE THIS!!! He just wanted appreciation and to stop losing his clan, while the rest is playing the dumb court politics— while trying to put someone of pure sadism in power. Ughh I am team Yakamo and … yes I know that he is a little bad, but he has reason for this. I honestly can’t wait for the next story just for Yakamo.”

Memorable Slow start, strong finish Dark Setting fits the story Descriptive Easy to read War violence

“Legend of the Five Rings is an RPG world I've been intrigued by for a very long time. I've seen the game system, but I've not played, nor have I read any other novels set in this world before. From the perspective of a newbie to this world, this book is brilliant. I can't speak for hard-core fans, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was full of political intrigue, battles, and emotions. It felt epic to read. As with all multi POV books, it takes me a little while to get straight in my head, who is who, there is a vast array of characters who are all out for their own clan. You have the Crane, the Lion, the Dragon, the Crab, the Phoenix, the Scorpion, and the Unicorn. Since the Emperor's death, seemingly at the hands of a Scorpion, the Scorpion have been ostracised, a Crane is now Regent, and trust between the clans is fracturing. I feel the most for the Crab clan. They hold the wall against the shadowlands, and for their efforts, they are thought of as barbaric and almost ridiculed by the other clans. On top of this, you have Mirumoto Hitomi of the Dragon clan who has a vendetta against Hida Yakomo from the Crab clan for accidentally killing her older brother in a duel. Overall, this was a brilliant book and a great introduction to the world of Legend of the Five Rings, and I will definitely be checking out more novels. I may even be able to convince my husband to try the RPG.”
