Books like The Spider's War by Daniel Abraham
Lord Regent Geder Palliako’s expansion—spurred by the ancient priesthood and dragon‑powered weaponry—has brought war across a ragged continent, leaving nations toppled one after another. Yet the more lands he conquers, the farther the empire’s own foundations crumble. In the city of Carse, amid fighting on every frontier, leaders Cithrin bel Sarcour, Marcus Wester, and Clara Kalliam confront a grim reality: the battle is not only against external foes but also an internal schism threatening to fracture the empire into eternal strife. Their only hope lies with an unexpected alliance of imperial traitors, the sole survivor of the dragon empire, and a revolutionary financial gambit that could either spark a renaissance of peace or become the greatest deceit the world has ever seen.
