About this ebook
War and madness cast shadows over the lands dragons once ruled.
Geder Palliako's star is rising. He is a hero of Antea, protector to the crown prince, and darling of the court. But storms from his past are gathering, and with them, a war that will change everything.
Cithrin bel Sarcour founded a powerful bank on stolen wealth, forged papers, and ready blades. Now every move she makes is observed, recorded, and controlled. Unless Cithrin can free herself from her gilded cage, the life she made will be for naught; war may provide just the opportunity she needs.
An apostate priest sees the hidden hand behind all: a long-buried secret of the dragon empire threatens everything humanity has built. An age of madness and death approaches, with only a few doomed heroes to stand in its way.

I've read the first book in the series and it was better then this one. But I only continued reading this series because it is ranked in the top 25 fantasy books, but for the life of me I can't see why. I wanted to stop reading numerous times, there is no suspense or excitement and absolutely nothing happens to move the plot forward at all in this book. The characterization is okay but not strong, and that's the best aspect of this book. I just don't see why the reviews are so high. Don't waste your time.

A little dry and slow but not bad... Might pick up the next one.
