The Dragon's Path

“The Dragon's Path” ushers readers into a meticulously crafted world scarred by a distant past where ancient dragons and potent magic once reigned supreme, now reduced to faded legends and diluted parlor tricks. In their wake, the kingdoms of humanity are locked in a ruthless "game of thrones," a complex dance of power where ambitious lords deploy armies, manipulate trade routes, and orchestrate merchant caravans as instruments of war and influence. Within this intricate tapestry of political machinations, a sinister force is gathering strength. A charismatic but dangerous leader, backed by an ancient, malevolent ally, threatens to unleash a destructive madness that once tore the world asunder. Geder Palliako, a naive young man caught in the web, and Cithrin bel Sarcour, a resourceful banker navigating dangerous financial currents, find themselves unknowingly pivotal. Only one man, Captain Marcus Wester, a veteran mercenary haunted by past secrets, possesses the full truth and must emerge from the shadows to champion humanity. The world's fate teeters precariously on the edge of a Dagger, its future balanced on the toss of a Coin, as a new age of terror looms.
