The Fall of the Kings Summary

The Fall of the Kings by Ellen Kushner

Generations ago the last king fell, taking with him the final truths about a race of wizards who ruled at his side. But the blood of the kings runs deep in the land and its people, waiting for the coming together of two unusual men. Theron Campion is heir to an ancient house - and a modern scandal. Tormented by his twin duties to his family and his own bright spirit, he seeks solace in the University. There he meets Basil St. Cloud, a brilliant and charismatic teacher ruled by a passion for knowledge - and for the ancient kings.

Around these two are gathering those who believe the land still cries out for a king - and those who would do anything to stop them returning.

The Fall of the Kings Reviews

Swordspoint was the best fantasy novel of 1989. The Fall of Kings is better - twistier and deeper - Neil Gaiman

Kushner and Sherman don't spin fables or knit fancies: they are world-forgers, working in a language of iron and air - Gregory Maguire

A wonderful book, beautifully written with marvellous magical moments - Jo Walton
