Varhlokkur — the King’s wizard — tries to dissuade Ragnorson from this chosen path, but only the drum-beat of war is heard. The King’s Spymaster Michael Trebilcock joins with the wizard to stave off The Ill Fate Marshaling, to no effect. Many of the characters from past volumes take center stage, and the climatic events of this book shake the world of the Dread Empire to its very core, creating A Path to Coldness of Heart. Glen Cook’s final Dread Empire novel was to have been published 20 years ago, but the manuscript was stolen, and the fate of The Dread Empire has been in Limbo — until now! Night Shade is proud to present the long delayed final Dread Empire Trilogy, of which An Ill Fate Marshaling is Volume 2.","forthcoming":false,"isbn13":"9781597803212","publication_date":"20111101","publisher":"Night Shade Books","slug":"an-ill-fate-marshalling","subtitle":"Kindle Edition","title":"An Ill Fate Marshalling"},"discovery":{"categories":{"all":[{"bisac_code":"FIC009020","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Epic Fantasy","score":0.7774,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"FIC009140","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Military Fantasy","score":0.7734,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"FIC009100","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Fantasy Adventure","score":0.7669,"source":"bisac_hint_model"}],"hint":[{"bisac_code":"FIC009020","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Epic Fantasy","score":0.7774,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"FIC009140","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Military Fantasy","score":0.7734,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"FIC009100","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Fantasy Adventure","score":0.7669,"source":"bisac_hint_model"}],"publisher":[{"bisac_code":"FIC009000","confidence_band":"high","label":"Fantasy","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"FIC009020","confidence_band":"high","label":"Epic Fantasy","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"FIC037000","confidence_band":"high","label":"Political Fiction","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"}]},"genres":[{"label":"Epic Fantasy","score":0.7774,"slug":"epic-fantasy"},{"label":"Military Fantasy","score":0.7734,"slug":"military-fantasy"},{"label":"Fantasy Adventure","score":0.7669,"slug":"fantasy-adventure"}],"reader_fit":["For readers interested in royal coups and wartime conflict."],"related_lists":[],"series":null,"similar_books":[{"authors":["Glen Cook"],"book_id":"9781597806527","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9781597806527.jpg?v=2482fd13009d3160","score":0.8406,"title":"Wrath of Kings","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9781597806527"},{"authors":["Glen Cook"],"book_id":"9781597803311","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9781597803311.jpg?v=3bc0a794802e5cc2","score":0.8395,"title":"A Path to Coldness of Heart","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9781597803311"},{"authors":["Glen Cook"],"book_id":"9781597803199","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9781597803199.jpg?v=d523b606846492bd","score":0.7962,"title":"Reap the East Wind","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9781597803199"},{"authors":["Glen Cook"],"book_id":"9781597803748","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9781597803748.jpg?v=94359953ad6afcc1","score":0.7799,"title":"An Empire Unacquainted With Defeat","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9781597803748"},{"authors":["Glen Cook"],"book_id":"9781597803779","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9781597803779.jpg?v=02fc8e43778e011f","score":0.7522,"title":"A Fortress in Shadow","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9781597803779"},{"authors":["Glen Cook","Stephen Hoye","Audible Studios","& 0 more"],"book_id":"9781627933049","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9781627933049.jpg?v=578eb899542fd846","score":0.7499,"title":"All Darkness Met","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9781627933049"},{"authors":["Glen Cook"],"book_id":"9781597803755","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9781597803755.jpg?v=aca35b827b876049","score":0.7413,"title":"Darkwar","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9781597803755"},{"authors":["Glen Cook"],"book_id":"9781597803724","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9781597803724.jpg?v=8c735db492775cf6","score":0.7362,"title":"A Cruel Wind","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9781597803724"}],"topics":[{"evidence_refs":["keyword:dark epic fantasy saga"],"label":"Fantasy","score":0.1342,"slug":"fantasy"},{"evidence_refs":["keyword:fallen empire politics"],"label":"Politics","score":0.0364,"slug":"politics"},{"evidence_refs":["keyword:military coup in kingdom"],"label":"Military","score":0.035,"slug":"military"},{"evidence_refs":["keyword:coup and civil unrest"],"label":"Civil","score":0.0282,"slug":"civil"}],"what_you_get":["Themes: Political coup, War, Empire conflict.","Themes: Fantasy, Politics, Military.","Reading lane: Epic Fantasy and Military Fantasy."]},"llm_signals":{"confidence":0.78,"pacing":"unknown","reader_fit":["For readers interested in royal coups and wartime conflict."],"themes":["Political coup","War","Empire conflict"],"tropes":[]},"source_presence":{"amazon":true,"book_detail":true,"goodreads":true,"llm_signals":true,"similarity_seed":true},"stats":{"amazon_ratings_count":87,"goodreads_ratings_count":637,"goodreads_reviews_count":23,"quality_score":0.899}}
