The Empire of Ashes

The third book of epic conflicts and arcane intrigue in New York Times bestselling author Anthony Ryan’s Draconis Memoria series.
For
hundreds of years, the Ironship Trading Syndicate was fueled by drake
blood–and protected by the Blood-blessed, those few who could drink it
and wield fearsome powers. But now the very thing that sustained the
corporate world threatens to destroy it.
A drake of unimaginable
power has risen, and it commands an army of both beasts and men. Rogue
Blood-blessed Claydon Torcreek, Syndicate agent Lizanne Lethridge, and
Ironship captain Corrick Hilemore, spread to disparate corners of the
world, must rely upon the new powers and knowledge they have gained at
great price to halt its forces–or face the end of all they know.
