From the New York Times best-selling author of Wind-Up Girl and The Water Knife comes a sweeping literary fantasy about a young scion from a ruling class family facing rebellion as he ascends to power. In the city-state of Navola, dominated by influential families, business equals power. The di Regulai family, merchant bankers with a vast empire, have wielded their wealth to influence cities and topple kingdoms. Davico di Regulai is on the brink of taking over from his father, needing to navigate the treacherous waters of trust and deception while deciphering hidden motives behind smiles. Amidst the opulence, ancient forces stir, symbolized by a fossilized dragon eye in the family's possession—a potent relic that seems to compel Davico to action. As tensions escalate, he must confront his limits, with his fate intertwined with the dragon relic and the secrets buried within his adopted sister, Celia di Balcosi, whose family fell victim to Navola's ruthless politics. Drawing inspiration from Renaissance Italy, The Godfather, and Game of Thrones, this tale presents a remarkable world filled with ambition and intrigue.
