From the New York Times best-selling author of Wind-Up Girl and The Water Knife comes a sweeping literary fantasy about a young heir from a ruling family facing rebellion as he ascends to power. In Navola, a city-state ruled by a few influential families, business equates to power. The di Regulai family, wealthy merchant bankers, have long manipulated their vast empire to influence the world, claiming neutrality in politics while secretly toppling kingdoms. Davico di Regulai is on the brink of taking over from his father, needing to master the intricate games of trust and deception in Navola. However, beneath the city’s opulence lies a dark history, symbolized by a fossilized dragon eye in the family’s possession, which seems to compel Davico to action. As tensions escalate, he faces challenges that will test his limits. His destiny intertwines with the ancient dragon relic and the hidden struggles of his adopted sister, Celia di Balcosi, whose family fell victim to Navola’s ruthless politics. With echoes of Renaissance Italy, The Godfather, and Game of Thrones, this narrative offers a captivating blend of world-building and an exploration of ambition and resilience.
