The Adamantine Palace lies at the centre of an empire that grew out of ashes. Once dragons ruled the world and man was little more than prey. Then a way of subduing the dragons through alchemy was discovered and now the dragons are bred to be mere mounts for knights and highly valued tokens in the diplomatic power-players that underpin the rule of the competing aristocratic houses. The Empire has grown fat.
And now one man wants it for himself. A man prepared to poison the king just as he has poisoned his own father. A man prepared to murder his own lover and then bed her daughter. A man fit to be king?
But unknown to him there are flames on the way. A single dragon has gone missing. And even one dragon on the loose, unsubdued and returned to its full intelligence, its full fury, could spell disaster for the Empire.
But because of the actions of one unscrupulous mercenary the rivals for the throne could soon be facing hundreds of dragons ...
Stephen Deas has written a fast moving and action-fuelled fantasy laced with irony, a razor sharp way with characters, dialogue to die for and dragons to die by.
Quatrième de couverture :There will be flames.
Once dragons ruled the world and humans were little more than prey; then a way of subduing the dragons was discovered. Now the dragons are bred to be little more than mounts for knights and highly valued tokens for the competing aristocratic houses. The Empire has grown fat. And now one man wants it for himself. A man who has killed his own father and is prepared to kill the king.
However flames are on the way. A single dragon has gone missing. And even one dragon on the loose, restored to its full intelligence and fury, could spell disaster for the Empire. But that is not all. The rivals for the throne could soon be facing hundreds of dragons . . .
