A broken ranger.
The fierce warrior he loves.
A puppet queen and the High Lord of the Seven Houses who pulls her strings.
And lies written in blood to hide a dreadful past.
Laoch and the dishonoured warrior Sura are thrown into a world of spirit-magic, gods’ weapons and rewritten history, unravelling all they thought they knew to reveal a monstrous secret buried in lies ‒ one even the gods feared. For the dragons of scripture are no allegory, and they hunger once again.
A dark fantasy that blends arcane science, steampunk, and magic drawn from the soul, A Dragon of the Veil is the first book in the Warriors of Spirit and Bone trilogy.
Perfect for readers of the dark intricacy of Michael Moorcock's Eternal Champion series and the gritty, grimdark malice of Abercrombie’s First Law trilogy.
