The Waking Fire

In Anthony Ryan's new saga, The Draconis Memoria, set in the expansive world of the Ironship Trading Syndicate, the blood of drakes is a coveted resource that grants extraordinary powers to the Blood-blessed. As the drake populations dwindle, the threat of war looms with the Corvantine Empire, prompting a desperate quest for a legendary breed of drake. Three unlikely heroes—a petty thief, a skilled spy, and a courageous lieutenant—embark on perilous journeys that intertwine as they confront formidable challenges and strive to avert impending conflict.
