There will be blood. There will be death. This is the path
of anger... Year 10 of the new Republic, in the remote port city of
Masalia. Dun-Cadal, once the greatest general of the Empire,
has been drinking his life away for years. Betrayed by his
friends and grief-stricken at the loss of his apprentice,
he’s done with politics, with adventure, and with people.
But people aren’t finished with him – not yet. Viola is a young historian looking for the last Emperor’s
sword, said to have been taken by Dun-Cadal during the
Empire’s final, chaotic hours. Her search not only leads her
to the former general, but embroils them both in a series of
assassinations. Dun-Cadal’s turncoat friends are being
murdered, one by one, in the unmistakable style of an
Imperial assassin... But as Dun-Cadal comes to realize, none of these
developments – not even the surprise of meeting his
supposedly deceased apprentice – has been the result of
chance. An intrigue transcending the fates of the individual
characters has been put into motion, and its secrets are
revealed one by one as the story unfolds. In this debut novel, Antoine Rouaud displays an astonishing
virtuosity, sustaining a high level of suspense seldom seen
in a work of Fantasy. Depicting mortal characters thrown
into the maelstrom of History and who ultimately become
figures of legend, The Path of Anger proves to be one of
the most hotly anticipated fantasy debuts of this year.
