Hello Reddit! I am fantasy author Mazarkis Williams, author of the Tower & Knife trilogy, also a gamer, foodie, music lover, TV watcher. Ask Me Anything!

I'm Mazarkis Williams, the mysterious character responsible for the Tower & Knife trilogy comprising *The Emperor's Knife*, *Knife Sworn*, and *The Tower Broken*, published by Jo Fletcher Books in the UK and Skyhorse/Start in the US. The trilogy completed in the United States just yesterday.

Tower & Knife is about an intelligent disease, political plots and betrayals, a dead god, and an unwanted war in an empire with fading magic.

As part of this AMA, two questioners will receive a signed copy of *The Emperor's Knife*, or if you have that, *Knife Sworn*, or if you have *that*, *The Tower Broken*. [Warning: I do not yet have my author's copies of *Tower Broken* so there is wait involved with that one]. The winners will be chosen randomly.

Ask me anything and I will be back at 9 PM EST (8 PM CST, 7 PM Mountain) to answer you!

**Edit: It's 11 p.m. and I'm signing off. I'll be back in the morning to answer any further questions and do random rolls for the winners of the giveaways. Thank you so much!**
