<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Includes extras; Includes excerpts from The jasmine throne by Tasha Suri and Son of the storm by Suyi Davies Okungbowa.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>On the far outreaches of a crumbling desert empire, two women--a princess and a soldier--will haggle over the price of a nation in this richly imagined, breath-taking sapphic epic fantasy filled with rebellion, espionage, and assassinations.</b> <br> <b>Touraine is a soldier.</b> Stolen as a child and raised to kill and die for the empire, her only loyalty is to her fellow conscripts. But now, her company has been sent back to her homeland to stop a rebellion, and the ties of blood may be stronger than she thought. <b>Luca needs a turncoat.</b> Someone desperate enough to tiptoe the bayonet's edge between treason and orders. Someone who can sway the rebels toward peace, while Luca focuses on what really matters: getting her uncle off her throne. Through assassinations and massacres, in bedrooms and war rooms, Touraine and Luca will haggle over the price of a nation. But some things aren't for sale. <p/><b>"A perfect military fantasy: </b><b> brutal, complex, human and impossible to put down."</b> - Tasha Suri, author of <i>Empire of Sand</i><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Clark conjures an elaborate fantasy world inspired by Northern Africa and delves into an international political conflict that draws on real histories of colonialism and conquest in their excellent debut... Clark's precise, thorough worldbuilding allows this remarkable novel to dive deep into the intricate workings of colonialism, exposing how power structures are maintained through social conditioning and exploring the emotional toll of political conflict. The result is a captivating story that works both as high fantasy and skillful cultural commentary."--<b>Publishers Weekly</b><br><br>"This strong debut is filled with exciting action and worldbulding, intriguing characters dealing with themes of colonization, military conscription and indoctrination, and an explosion of feelings. Readers will be clamoring for more of Touraine and Luca before they finish."--<b>Library Journal</b><br><br>"<i>The Unbroken</i> grabs you by the throat and doesn't let go. A perfect military fantasy: brutal, complex, human, and impossible to put down."--<b>Tasha Suri, author of The Jasmine Throne</b><br><br>"<i>The Unbroken</i> is a thrilling examination of love and loyalty under the crushing weight of empire. It's high adventure on a human scale--don't miss it."--<b>Alix E. Harrow, author of The Ten Thousand Doors of January</b><br><br>"A bold and exciting work that helps steer the evolution of the genre into the next decade."--<b>Marshall Ryan Maresca, author of the Maradaine novels</b><br><br>"C L Clark's epic fantasy debut reveals all the ugly, painful, deeply personal complexities of revolution against empire, captured in shimmering pointillist detail. I'm in awe!"--<b>Shelley Parker-Chan, author of She Who Became the Sun</b><br><br>"C.L.

Doore, author of The Perfect Assassin</b><br><br>"With its incisive look at the irreconcilable conflicts that colonialism wedges between desire, duty, individuality, and community, C.L. Clark's <i>The Unbroken</i> is a compelling and persuasive reimagining of both heroism and heroics as something inseparable from identity, perspective, and history. It's a deeply needed look at the myths we make, the stories we tell, and the bitterly binding ties of both blood and bondage."--<b>Evan Winter, author of The Rage of Dragons</b><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Cherae</b> graduated from Indiana University's creative writing MFA.
