The Broken Empire trilogy by Mark Lawrence is a grimdark fantasy series comprising Prince of Thorns, King of Thorns, and Emperor of Thorns. It follows the brutal anti-hero Jorg Ancrath, who leads a band of outlaws to seize power in a post-apocalyptic Europe. The world is a ruined, feudalistic version of1000 years after a nuclear war, where ancient technology acts as magic.
Series Conclusion
The trilogy concludes with Jorg confronting the Dead King and making a choice to save the world, which involves a "wacky yet fitting" ending that addresses the reality-warping "wheel".
