Publisher Description
War and madness cast shadows over the lands dragons once ruled.
Geder Palliako's star is rising. He is a hero of Antea, protector to the crown prince, and darling of the court. But storms from his past are gathering, and with them, a war that will change everything.
Cithrin bel Sarcour founded a powerful bank on stolen wealth, forged papers, and ready blades. Now every move she makes is observed, recorded, and controlled. Unless Cithrin can free herself from her gilded cage, the life she made will be for naught; war may provide just the opportunity she needs.
An apostate priest sees the hidden hand behind all: a long-buried secret of the dragon empire threatens everything humanity has built. An age of madness and death approaches, with only a few doomed heroes to stand in its way.

Customer Reviews
Certainly some surprises
Just when I thought a certain thing would happen, the book made a complete left turn. Very engaging, kept me on the edge of my seat, and I just could not stop listening to this. Once again fantastic job by the narrator. Certainly more character development, certainly more intrigue, more subterfuge, and betrayal all around.
