Synopsis

"Everything I look for in a fantasy." -- George R. R. Martin

All paths lead to war. . .

Marcus' hero days are behind him. He knows too well that even the smallest war still means somebody's death. When his men are impressed into a doomed army, staying out of a battle he wants no part of requires some unorthodox steps.

Cithrin is an orphan, ward of a banking house. Her job is to smuggle a nation's wealth across a war zone, hiding the gold from both sides. She knows the secret life of commerce like a second language, but the strategies of trade will not defend her from swords.

Geder, sole scion of a noble house, has more interest in philosophy than in swordplay. A poor excuse for a soldier, he is a pawn in these games. No one can predict what he will become.

Falling pebbles can start a landslide. A spat between the Free Cities and the Severed Throne is spiraling out of control. A new player rises from the depths of history, fanning the flames that will sweep the entire region onto The Dragon's Path -- the path to war.

Goodreads review by James on April 28, 2022

The Dragon's Path is an intriguing and character-focused fantasy release that helped me get out of a reading and review slump that has lasted 3-months. The first entry in The Dagger and the Coin series, The Dragon's Path mainly follows 4 point of view perspectives, 3 of which I really enjoyed readin......more

Via The Obsessive Bookseller at www.nikihawkes.com While The Dragon’s Path was entertaining, I’m sad to say I didn’t like it nearly as much as the other two series I’ve read from this author (The Long Price Quartet & Leviathan). Abraham has a talent for orchestrating multiple POVs. While it was especi......more
