The Wall of Storms
In the much-anticipated sequel to the “magnificent fantasy epic” (NPR) Grace of Kings, Emperor Kuni Garu is faced with the invasion of an invincible army in his kingdom and must quickly find a way to defeat the intruders.
Kuni Garu, now known as Emperor Ragin, runs the archipelago kingdom of Dara, but struggles to maintain progress while serving the demands of the people and his vision. Then an unexpected invading force from the Lyucu empire in the far distant west comes to the shores of Dara — and chaos results.
But Emperor Kuni cannot go and lead his kingdom against the threat himself with his recently healed empire fraying at the seams, so he sends the only people he trusts to be Dara’s savvy and cunning hopes against the invincible invaders: his children, now grown and ready to make their mark on history.

Ken Liu
Ken Liu writes where myth meets machine, where language becomes a bridge between worlds both ancient and imagined. Born in Lanzhou, China, and raised in the United States, he grew up between languages, always aware that translation between cultures, between past and future, is a kind of storytelling in itself. That awareness threads through all his work, from his award-winning short fiction to the sweeping Dandelion Dynasty series, which reimagines history through the lens of invention and rebellion.
The Dandelion Dynasty
The Dandelion Dynasty follows Kuni Garu, a charming bandit, and Mata Zyndu, the son of a deposed duke. At first, the two seem like polar opposites, yet, in the uprising against the emperor, they quickly become the best of friends after a series of adventures. The scope of the series is epic, involving gods, massive armies, diverse cultures, multiple plot lines, numerous characters, polities, war, courtly intrigue, and love.
The Dandelion Dynasty consists of four books — considered a complete series. The current recommended reading order for the series is provided below.
