Science Fiction | Fantasy Saga
A major new epic fantasy adventure and breakout novel for
acclaimed author Daniel Abraham. Summer is the season of war in the Free Cities. Marcus wants to get out before the fighting starts. His hero
days are behind him and simple caravan duty is better than
getting pressed into service by the local gentry. Even a
small war can get you killed. But a captain needs men to
lead -- and his have been summarily arrested and recruited
for their swords. Cithrin has a job to do -- move the wealth of a nation
across a war zone. An orphan raised by the bank, she is
their last hope of keeping the bank's wealth out of the
hands of the invaders. But she's just a girl and knows
little of caravans, war, and danger. She knows money and she
knows secrets, but will that be enough to save her in the
coming months? Geder, the only son of a noble house is more interested in
philosophy than swordplay. He is a poor excuse for a soldier
and little more than a pawn in these games of war. But not
even he knows what he will become of the fires of battle.
Hero or villain? Small men have achieved greater things and
Geder is no small man. Falling pebbles can start a landslide. What should have been
a small summer spat between gentlemen is spiraling out of
control. Dark forces are at work, fanning the flames that
will sweep the entire region onto The Dragon's Path -- the
path of war.
