Part of Series
Trapped inside the mysterious Order of Legends, Asha is struggling to become the hero that the hundred worlds need. Her sister is dead, her mother won't wake up, Obi is gone, and Xavior keeps visiting her dreams. Unable to reach through the realm of heroes to summon the weapon that could change everything, she sets off to find the fabled gauntlet of Chasca, and meets new friends and old enemies... As three timelines begin to converge, Asha must decide exactly what she's willing to sacrifice in order to save the universe. The Rule of Chaos is the second instalment in The Order of Legends trilogy, a centuries-spanning adventure unmissable for fans of the spacefaring found family of Becky Chambers, the magical London of V. E. Schwab, and the epic climate-craft of N. K. Jemisin.
