Summary
All paths lead to war...
Marcus' hero days are behind
him. He knows too well that even the smallest war still
means somebody's death. When his men are impressed into a
doomed army, staying out of a battle he wants no part of
requires some unorthodox steps.
Cithrin is an orphan, ward of a
banking house. Her job is to smuggle a nation's wealth
across a war zone, hiding the gold from both sides. She
knows the secret life of commerce like a second language,
but the strategies of trade will not defend her from
swords.
Geder, sole scion of a noble
house, has more interest in philosophy than in swordplay.
A poor excuse for a soldier, he is a pawn in these games.
No one can predict what he will become.
Falling pebbles can start a
landslide. A spat between the Free Cities and the Severed
Throne is spiraling out of control. A new player rises
from the depths of history, fanning the flames that will
sweep the entire region onto The Dragon's Path-the path
to war.
