A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

There will be blood. There will be death. This is the path of anger.

Dun-Cadal has been drinking his life away for years. Betrayed by his friends - who turned their back on their ideals in favour of a new republic - and grief-stricken at the loss of his apprentice, who saved his life on the battlefield and whom he trained as a knight in exchange, he's done with politics, with adventure, and with people.

But people aren't finished with him - not yet. Viola is a young historian looking for the last Emperor's sword, and her search not only brings her to Dun-Cadal, it's also going to embroil them both in a series of assassinations. Because Dun-Cadal's turncoat friends are being murdered, one by one ... By someone who kills in the unmistakable style of an Imperial assassin ...

Revue de presse :

A club sandwich of present-day action and flashback explainers that blend into each other to keep the pacing brisk. (Dean Evans SFX Magazine)

Rouaud has a talent for character depiction. (Daniel Cairns SciFi Now)

The Path of Anger has outstanding writing style - I would say arguably better than anything in contemporary secondary world fantasy genre - superbly drawn characters and narrative momentum. (fantasybookcritic.blogspot.co.uk)

Rouaud's slow reveal of the backstory promises intriguing future volumes of fantasy noir with a distinctly continental sensibility. (Eric Brown The Guardian)

The Path of Anger is a much richer, darker and subtler story than a mere quest novel. (SFF World)
