Publisher Description

A master assassin. A fugitive prince. An impossible quest—to hunt a dragon.

When a magical storm tears their ship to pieces, legendary assassin Locan A'Shadow and his companion, Cetrik, stagger ashore in a ruthless and broken land.

The rulers of Paleir once commanded mighty sea dragons, forging an island of warring kingdoms into a proud and prosperous nation. Now, Paleir's cities lie in ruins. No dragon has been seen there for centuries… Until now.

There are rumours of huge, winged shapes in the night. When a local lord captures Cetrik and Locan, he offers them only one chance of freedom—they must find a dragon and bring him its scales, so he can bind it to serve him and unite Paleir again.

Cetrik is eager for adventure, but Locan has been caught in the games of kings before. And he knows they always end in blood.

They set out into the wilderness, to hunt a creature of myth. But when a deadly magical conspiracy is revealed, can they find what they seek before an ancient evil is unleashed on their world?

An utterly thrilling and addictive fantasy of secrets, betrayal, and epic combat. Fans of Joe Abercrombie, Jay Kristoff, and John Gwynne will be hooked.
