Perfect for readers who love sweeping, morally complex fantasy with airships, shapeshifting gods, and rich political drama, this collection delivers Liu's full vision in one set.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Books\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Dandelion Dynasty unfolds across four novels as one of modern fantasy's most ambitious sagas, tracing an empire's birth, consolidation, and testing in the secondary world of Dara. Ken Liu builds his story on \"silkpunk\" invention, where bamboo-and-silk airships and mechanical marvels sit alongside classical philosophy, poetry, and East Asian mythic tradition, giving the series a distinctive texture unlike most Western epic fantasy. The Grace of Kings opens the saga as a charismatic bandit and a vengeance-driven nobleman's son overthrow a crumbling empire, only to discover that winning a war is far simpler than governing what follows. The Wall of Storms carries the story into an uneasy peace, where a new imperial examination system, rising rivals, and buried secrets threaten to unravel what the founding generation built. The Veiled Throne shifts the saga's scale, introducing the Lyucu conquerors and a new generation of rulers navigating rivalry, legacy, and shifting power within a fractured court. Speaking Bones closes the quartet with Princess Théra pursued across a vast continent, forcing a final reckoning between the peoples of Dara and the Lyucu. Across all four books, Liu explores governance, technology, gender, and the true cost of ambition, rewarding readers who enjoy multigenerational epics and inventive world-building. Family bonds, mentorship, and betrayal recur throughout, grounding grand political events in deeply personal, human stakes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComplete four-book paperback set\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInventive \"silkpunk\" fantasy blending East Asian tradition with original technology\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBy Hugo, Nebula, and World Fantasy Award-winning author Ken Liu\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMultigenerational saga of empire, rebellion, and political intrigue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA great gift for birthdays, holidays, or any fantasy fan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand new paperback condition, ready to read or gift\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBook-by-Book Guide\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Grace of Kings — A bandit and a nobleman's son unite to topple a tyrant, only to find ruling harder than rebelling.\u003cbr\u003eThe Wall of Storms — Hard-won peace under Emperor Ragin begins to crack as new rivals and secrets resurface.\u003cbr\u003eThe Veiled Throne — The Lyucu conquerors and a new generation of Dara's rulers navigate rivalry and shifting power.\u003cbr\u003eSpeaking Bones — Princess Théra is hunted across a vast continent as the fates of Dara and the Lyucu collide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKen Liu is an American author of speculative fiction, as well as a translator, lawyer, and programmer.
