"The Red Queen's War" is a fantasy trilogy written by Mark Lawrence. It follows the story of Prince Jalan Kendeth, a cowardly and self-serving character, who is thrust into a world of conflict and magic. Set in the same universe as The Broken Empire, the series explores themes of honor, betrayal, and the consequences of one's choices. The trilogy consists of three books: Prince of Fools, The Liar's Key, and The Wheel of Osheim. Throughout the series, Jalan teams up with Snorri ver Snagason, a Viking-like warrior, as they navigate treacherous landscapes and face formidable foes, including the enigmatic Red Queen.
