War rarely begins with grand gestures. Most often, it starts with small choices made by people who never intended to shape history.
In The Dragon’s Path, Daniel Abraham follows three lives caught at the edge of rising conflict. Marcus Wester, a veteran who has lost his taste for heroics, tries to protect his men from conscription into a doomed army. Cithrin bel Sarcour, a young ward of a banking house, must smuggle a kingdom’s fortune across a battlefield before either side can claim it. Geder Palliako, an awkward noble with a love of philosophy, becomes an unlikely figure whose decisions may ignite an empire.
As ancient forces stir and alliances fracture, their paths collide on the road to war.
