The Art of Legend: A Novel

The War Arts Saga, Book 3

De: Wesley Chu

Narrado por: Natalie Naudus

A humbled prince, a grumpy grandmaster, and a ragtag band of heroes find out what it takes to become truly legendary, in the conclusion to the epic fantasy trilogy lauded as “dramatic, fun, thoughtful, clever, and (literally) punchy” (Kirkus Reviews).

“Electrifying, thrilling, and a glorious, romantic ride.”—Robert Jackson Bennett on The Art of Prophecy

Once in a faraway kingdom there was a man prophesied to be the chosen one, who would defeat a great villain, the Eternal Khan, and save the kingdom.

But then the Eternal Khan died . . . and the prophecy was broken.

For Jian, the fated hero, this could have been a moment to succumb to despair. But instead, he chose to create his own destiny. He studied under Taishi, his curmudgeonly but beloved mentor, to become a great warrior.

With war on the horizon—and rumors of the Khan’s return brewing—a band of unlikely allies are also on their own missions. There’s Sali, a gruff warrior who is also forging a path different from the one her culture created for her, and Qisami, an assassin whose cold heart might actually be made of gold. And Taishi has gathered a band of other elderly grandmasters to help Jian live up to his destiny.

Because some heroes aren’t simply born legends—they choose to become legendary. And great heroes do not stand alone but are stronger together.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“The Art of Prophecy is an ambitious and touching exploration of disillusionment in faith, tradition, and family, but it’s also unexpectedly funny. I loved following Wesley Chu’s intricate narrative through this sprawling universe full of glorious reinvention of fantasy and wuxia tropes.”—Naomi Novik

“In this superb fantasy saga of tough old martial-arts masters and inexperienced young heroes, Wesley Chu has given us a richly inventive page-turner that delights throughout. The Art of Prophecy is Chu at the height of his imaginative powers, and I can’t wait for the next installment!”—Helene Wecker

“The Art of Prophecy is a terrific and compelling story that plays off so many classic tales taken from our own world and reinvents them all in classic fashion.”—Terry Brooks

The story tied up nicely

Original concept. Narration was perfect and the characters developed nicely. I wish there had been more development for the main protagonist

The Art of Legend

Author: Wesley Chu. Book 3 of the War Arts Saga ended the series. A series I will miss because of the fascinating characters. Atop that list of characters is Taishi. Really great character, mentor, teacher and curmudgeon. While end was surprisingly different from what I GUESSED, it certainly wrapped things nicely. Again, going to miss this series. DRmz 9-25-25.

Satisfying ending

Really enjoyed the journey everyone took through the trilogy. I hope he Wesley writes more in this world. I grew up watching TVB wuxai serials, I could visualize all the great scenes in my mind. So memorable.
