After the murder of his father, Jonas Greywater is saved by the mysterious vagabond, Sam. Implicated in the murder, Sam helps Jonas evade the law but in doing so thrusts him into the mysterious world of Heggary. Relentlessly, pursued by Captain Phanna, Jonas embarks on an adventure of discovery where he learns he holds a strand of the ethereal Golden Knot, the source of Hegomantic power, a power that Crown Prince Aze'mar yearns for. Driven by his despotic quest to reunite the Golden Knot, Aze'mar murders his father and the Watchers - the guardians of the four realms of the continent, creating a political vacuum. In response, his adopted brother, Laza'mar, rejects Aze'mar as ruler. Out of fear that Laza'mar could set himself up as a rival to the throne, Aze'mar sends assassins to eliminate Laza'mar, only for Laza'mar to escape, setting him on a quest for survival and then reap bloody revenge. However, Aze'mar's brashness and Machiavellian nature will not go unpunished, triggering the heirs of the Watchers to declare civil war on the Crown itself. But time is running out! In murdering his father, Aze'mar has claimed four of the five strands of power, though whether he can keep them in check remains to be seen. If the political machinations of A SONG OF ICE AND FIRE married the beautifully grotesque characters of THE FIRST LAW TRILOGY while having a scandalous affair with the epic nature of STORMLIGHT ARCHIVES, their bastard child would be - THE GOLDEN KNOT.
