The Legion of Flame -- Anthony Ryan

<b>Survival is the only currency...</b> <p/> For centuries, the vast Ironship Trading Syndicate relied on drake blood--and the extraordinary powers it confers to those known as the Blood-blessed--to fuel and protect its empire. But when the drake blood lines began to fail, a perilous expedition was mounted to secure them. <p/> Claydon Torcreek survived the fraught mission through uncharted lands in pursuit of a myth that might have secured his people's future. Instead he found a nightmare. The legendary White Drake was awoken from a millennia-long slumber, with a thirst to reduce the world of men to ashes, and the power to compel an army of Spoiled slaves to do it. <p/> Spurred on by a vision he desperately hopes he can trust, Clay and rebel naval officer Corrick Hilemore hijack a warship and head towards the icy southern seas, searching for an ancient secret that may give them and their allies a fighting chance. <p/>They are aided on another front by Blood-blessed agent Lizanne Lethridge. The spy and assassin will use her diplomatic status to infiltrate deep into enemy territory on a quest for a device to save them all. <p/> As the world burns around them, and the fires of revolution are ignited, these few Blood-blessed are the last hope for all of civilisation.<br><br><b>Author:</b> Anthony Ryan<br><b>Publisher:</b> Ace Books<br><b>Published:</b> 06/05/2018<br><b>Pages:</b> 592<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 1.19lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 8.90h x 6.00w x 1.30
