Avarice of the Empire (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798241597977)

Spring has arrived in the South, and the Aquitainian and Aeretollean forces of the East march along separate roads toward a convergence at the capital, where they'll finally face down the Immortal Emperor Unchallenged, Romanus Tyrsbane.

To the north, Oliver finds himself drawn deeper and deeper into a tangled web of deception, as he continues to meet with the emperor in secret and hides it from Erik, who grows more suspicious and worried by the day.

To the south, Amelia struggles to maintain a tenuous control over an army that includes her drakes, Southern outlaws and soldiers, and Prince Leif, whose every step is haunted by his thrall cousin, Ragnar. She wars with her burgeoning attraction to them...and with her fascination and sympathy for their Sel captive, Cassius.

In the sixth installment of the Drake Chronicles, skirmishes lead to shocking developments, and even more shocking revelations. Above all, the heroes of the East come to learn that they've vastly underestimated the emperor.

This is an ongoing, non-standalone novel that must be read in order. Check out the rest of the series: Heart of Winter, Edge of the Wild, Blood of Wolves, Demon of the Dead, and Fortunes of War. And be on the lookout for the next and final installment, coming soon!
