The Dragon's Path

The Dagger and the Coin, Book 1

By: Daniel Abraham

Narrated by: Pete Bradbury

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....

Reminds me of the first book of ASOIAF

The writing is pure magic, painting every scene with vivid, breathtaking detail! The worldbuilding is exceptional, I was completely captivated from start to finish.

As good as GoT.

Deep characters, immersive descriptions and a gripping narrative. Abraham has build a unique and fascinating world where fantasy is part of the texture but doesnt get in the way of the story.
