Tyrant’s Law. Daniel Abraham. 2014.

THE GREAT WAR CANNOT BE STOPPED.

Geder Palliako - once a hero of Antea, now a bloody tyrant - wants to bring peace to the world. But grave consequences can arise from the best of intentions.

Clara Kalliam has lost her standing at court, but not her pride.

Now she plays a dangerous game: outwardly loyal while secretly plotting Geder's downfall.

Cithrin bel Sarcour's education continues in a city now occupied by Antea, where she finds herself using her status as Geder's one-time lover to help refugees flee to safety.

As the war spreads, two men face a desperate race against time to awaken a force that could change the fate of the world.
