Description
War casts its shadow over the lands that dragons once ruled. Only the courage of a young woman with the mind of a gambler and loyalty to no one stands between hope and universal darkness.

An old, broken-hearted warrior and an apostate priest will begin a terrible journey with an impossible goal: destroy a Goddess before she eats the world.
The King's Blood by Daniel Abraham presents a thrilling tale of courage and transformation, set against a backdrop of impending doom.
