The dragons are gone, the powerful magics that broke the world diluted to little more than parlour tricks, but the kingdoms of men remain and the great game of thrones goes on. Lords deploy armies and merchant caravans as their weapons, manoeuvring for wealth and influence. But a darker power is rising - an unlikely leader with an ancient ally threatens to unleash again the madness that destroyed the world once already. Only one man knows the truth and, from the shadows, must champion humanity. The world's fate stands on the edge of a Dagger, its future on the toss of a Coin . . .

Paperback: 9¼" x 6". Condition: Near Fine: Small signs of wear. Cover Art: Lauren Panepinto (illustrator). 1st UK Edition. © 2011: 1st in the 'Dagger And The Coin' series of books. 1st UK edition, 1st printing:- Synopsis: Summer is the season of war in the Free Cities. Marcus is getting out before the fighting starts. His hero days are behind him, and guarding the last caravan out of the city is better than being pressed into service by the local gentry. Cithrin has a job to do - smuggle the wealth of the nation through a war zone. An orphan raised by the bank, she is the city's last hope of keeping its treasure out of the hands of the invaders. Geder, the only son of a noble house, is more interested in philosophy than swordplay. But in the fires of battle a hero - or a villain - can be forged from even the most reluctant soldier. All three have a part to play as a minor summer skirmish threatens to spiral out of control and sweep the entire region onto The Dragon's Path - the path of war:- Review(s): Praise for Daniel Abraham: "A compelling, emotionally brutal and edgy fantasy. Exceptionally well-written" - SFX / "Daniel Abraham knows what he's doing" - Brandon Sanderson:- (original cost £12.99). Seller Inventory # 11.005.00004
