Advance Praise

With a world as intricate as the titular magical artifact and a cast of characters as morally complex as figures from real history, Eridani’s Crown is a nuanced examination of the drive to acquire power and its distorting influence on our ideals. This epic fantasy will have you turning the pages deep into the night and move you in the manner only the grandest of tragedies can. — Ken Liu, Hugo Award-winning author of The Grace of Kings

A gripping tale of empire and conquest and the crumbling of good intentions in the pursuit of power. Shvartsman takes all your expectations and turns them on their head. — David Walton, Campbell Award-winning author of Three Laws Lethal

Neither grimdark nor heroic, Eridani's Crown is a unique mix, with just as much heart as it has pitiless depiction of human failings and foibles. — Charles E. Gannon, Nebula and Dragon Award-nominated author of Marque of Caine
