A new novel set in the world of League of Legends and Arcane is now available.
Ambessa: Chosen Of The Wolf is now available for purchase in the United States and the United Kingdom. The novel is based on League of Legends and Arcane.
Written by author C.L. Clark and published by Hachette Book Group imprint Orbit, the epic fantasy novel focuses on fan-favorite League of Legends champion and Arcane character Ambessa Medarda, mother of Mel Medarda. Set 10 years before Arcane in the Noxian region of Runeterra, the story chronicles Ambessa’s fight to be the head of the Medardas.
The book is rooted in League of Legends lore. Its prologue is the written version of the “Blood, Sweat & Tears” music video highlighting Ambessa, and the book also includes lore from Arcane.
The book’s synopsis reads as follows:
Ambessa Medarda: Warrior, general, mother. She is a woman to be feared, and the Medardas are unrivaled in their pursuit of glory. She has led conquests and armies. She has slain legendary beasts. She has made grave sacrifices in her ascent up the ranks. And for this she was rewarded: She entered the realm of death and was granted a vision of herself upon the throne of the vast Noxian empire.
But before she can lead her empire, she must become head of her own clan. Yet the title is contested by her cousin and former confidante, Ta’Fik. He knows the bloody sins of Ambessa’s past. And he knows he cannot allow her to rise.
They will fight a war for the very soul of the Medardas.
But the war won’t be fought on battlefields alone. Ambessa’s daughter, Mel, can deftly break through the walls around anyone’s heart, and she’ll put her talents to use for her mother. Yet despite Mel’s strength, Ambessa sees only a child who lacks her killer instincts. Mel knows she can be the leader Ambessa wants her to be, if only she gives her time.
With her family betraying her, enemies closing in on all sides, and unseen forces moving in the shadows, every day proves more dangerous than the last. But Ambessa will not bow. She will burn the world down to claim her place in it.
