Sartaq

Sartaq

He was the khagan's second son, never meant to inherit. Then he chose a foreign commoner for his empress — and his father named him Heir over the elder brother who'd done everything right.

Sartaq is the second-born prince of the khaganate and commander of the ruk riders, from Throne of Glass — the rukhin heir who falls for Nesryn Faliq, flies the great ruk Kadara, and brings a thousand riders north to fight for a queen he's never met. The warm one, in a book that badly needed warmth.

The Southern Continent The Mountain Aeries The Southern ContinentThe aeries are cut into mountains most of the court will never climb — wind and stone and the great wings of the rukhin, folk who answer to him and to no one softer. Second sons aren't raised to inherit anything. He rides where the empire is thinnest, where the danger comes in first, and calls that home before he ever calls it his.Enter The Southern Continent
