书籍简介

★《时代》杂志优秀幻想文学

★《三体》《北京折叠》英文译者刘宇昆的代表作

★《蒲公英王朝》是雨果奖、星云奖和世界奇幻奖得主刘宇昆的处女座，也是一个巨大的史诗奇幻系列的序曲。

在群星与大地之间，每个人都在创造传奇。刘宇昆在书中构建了一个由众多岛屿构成的神秘国度——达拉群岛。在这里，神祇与人类共存，海底修建有连通各岛屿的隧道，有用来运输作战的热气球、飞船、潜艇，战士乘着风筝战斗。在这里，无数英雄正在上演传奇。

在统治达拉群岛十余年之后，帝国四分五裂，再次陷入混乱。两个年轻人，一个强壮勇武，出身将军世家，誓要恢复旧时贵族的荣耀；一个机智狡猾，终日混迹市井，却胸怀开创新时代的梦想。在推翻帝国统治后，两人因不同的理想踏上了不同的征程。

蒲公英生长于土壤，却胸怀天空。它顽强坚韧，适应性强，只要有风，就能飘到任何地方，建立自己的帝国。

A TIME MAGAZINE BEST FANTASY BOOK OF ALL TIME Emperor Mapidere was the first to unite the island kingdoms of Dara under a single banner. But now the emperor is on his deathbed, his people are exhausted by his vast, conscriptive engineering projects and his counsellors conspire only for their own gain. Even the gods themselves are restless.

A wily, charismatic bandit and the vengeance-sworn son of a deposed duke cross paths as they each lead their own rebellion against the emperor's brutal regime. Together, they will journey to the heart of the empire; witnessing the clash of armies, fleets of silk-draped airships, magical books and shapeshifting gods. Their unlikely friendship will drastically change the balance of power in Dara...

but at what price? The Grace of Kings is the first novel by Hugo-, Nebula- and World Fantasy Award-winner Ken Liu and the first in a monumental epic fantasy series.
