Ruination: A League of Legends Story

Ancient magic, legendary champions, and an empire on the brink of ruin. From Anthony Reynolds, Ruination is a thrilling story set in the League of Legends universe. A perfect book for those who loved the Arcane series or even for fantasy fans who've never encountered the game.

Camavor is a brutal land with a bloody legacy. Where the empire's knights go, slaughter follows. And Kalista wants to change that. When her young, narcissistic uncle, Viego, becomes king, she vows to control her destructive instincts as his loyal confidant, advisor, and military general. But her plans are thwarted when an assassin's poisoned blade strikes Isolde, Viego's wife, infecting her with an incurable disease.

As Isolde's condition worsens, Viego sinks deeper into an abyss of insanity and pain, threatening to drag all of Camavor down with him. Kalista makes a desperate move to save the kingdom: she searches for the long-lost Blessed Isles, which are said to hold the queen's salvation—if only Kalista can find them.

However, corruption grows in the capital of the Blessed Isles, where a vengeful guard seeks to implicate Kalista in his cruel schemes. She will be forced to choose between loyalty to Viego and doing what she knows is right—for even in the face of utter darkness, a noble act can shine the light that will save the world.

The first book set in the blockbuster League of Legends universe, one of the most popular games of all time, Ruination is an epic tale of magic, revenge, and a kingdom on the brink of collapse.

"In the tradition of the best Greek tragedies, Anthony Reynolds crafts a gripping narrative of love, loss, war, and duty that echoes the maxim, 'The only thing necessary for evil to triumph is for good to do nothing.' Those familiar with League of Legends will understand where the story leads, but the strength of Ruination is that, like all great legends, knowing how it ends is only the beginning." - Evan Winter, author of The Rage of Dragons
