About this title

Synopsis:

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 . . .

Review:

A thoroughly engrossing debut novel from a major new fantasist. A poignant human tale of power, heartbreak, and betrayal (George R.R. Martin)

[An] impressive first novel . . . The long outcome should be the addition of Daniel Abraham to the pantheon of major fantasy authors (LOCUS)

The Dragon's Path is a tremendous novel and Abraham deftly mixes the classic foundations of the genre with a sophistication expected of him and rarely found in the work of his compatriots (A DRIBBLE OF INK)
