The Dragon's Path (#1 The Dagger and the Coin)
Author(s): Daniel Abraham
All paths lead to war...
Marcus' hero days are behind him. He knows too well that even the smallest war still means somebody's death. When his men are impressed into a doomed army, staying out of a battle he wants no part of requires some unorthodox steps.
Cithrin is an orphan, ward of a banking house. Her job is to smuggle a nation's wealth across a war zone, hiding the gold from both sides. She knows the secret life of commerce like a second language, but the strategies of trade will not defend her from swords.
Geder, sole scion of a noble house, has more interest in philosophy than in swordplay. A poor excuse for a soldier, he is a pawn in these games. No one can predict what he will become.
Falling pebbles can start a landslide. A spat between the Free Cities and the Severed Throne is spiraling out of control. A new player rises from the depths of history, fanning the flames that will sweep the entire region onto The Dragon's Path -- the path to war.

Everything I look for in a fantasy George R. R. Martin THE DRAGON'S PATH is a first superb installment in a series that has established itself already in my top level of current ongoing fantasy series Fantasy Book Critic THE DRAGON'S PATH is a tremendous novel and Abraham deftly mixes the classic foundations of the genre with a sophistication expected of him and rarely found in the work of his compatriots A Dribble of Ink THE DRAGON'S PATH is a winner. The characters are engaging and well-motivated, the plot intriguing The Wertzone Abraham weaves several characters into the story, each with their own flaws and ghosts that haunt them. Character development is quite deft and the author provides believable, fallible, and interesting players on his stage ... THE DRAGON'S PATH is an enjoyable read that holds great expectations for the series SF Signal
