(Fifth and final book of The Dagger and the Coin)
Synopsis:
"Lord Regent Geder Palliako's great war has spilled across the world,
nation after nation falling before the ancient priesthood and weapon of
dragons. But even as conquest follows conquest, the final victory
retreats before him like a mirage. Schism and revolt begin to erode the
foundations of the empire, and the great conquest threatens to collapse
into a permanent conflict of all against all.
In Carse, with armies
on all borders, Cithrin bel Sarcour, Marcus Wester, and Clara Kalliam
are faced with the impossible task of bringing a lasting peace to the
world. Their tools: traitors high in the imperial army, the last
survivor of the dragon empire, and a financial scheme that is either a
revolution or the greatest fraud in the history of the world."
(Tor.com novella)
Synopsis:
"Katya deals in Authenticities and Captures, trading on nostalgia for a
past long gone. Her clients are rich and they demand items and
experiences with only the finest verifiable provenance. Other people’s
lives have value, after all.But when her A.I. suddenly stops whispering in her ear she finds herself cut off from the grid and loses communication with the rest of the world.
The man who stepped out of the trees while hunting deer cut her off from the cloud, took her A.I. and made her his unwilling guest."
