Before dragons laid waste to man's empire, the fearsome monsters were used for war and gifts of surpassing wealth to buy favour in constant political battles. The Dragon Queen was notorious then. Now she is a prisoner. But no-one is more dangerous than when caged.

Forced to wage war by an unknown, the Dragon Queen is hated, safe while she has her dragon, but her necklace throttles her if she tries to flee. Berren the Bloody Judge, in another's body, seeks the man who stole his life. When he is in danger, a power inside him disintegrates others around. That power will lead to the Dragon Queen and battle.

Praised by the likes of Joe Abercrombie and Brent Weeks, Stephen Deas has made dragons his own. The Silver King, half-god, legend and myth, is returning. Once he fought his brother, the Black Moon, and his dragons, and was defeated. But the Black Moon was also weakened, and a millennia has passed. Humanity has grown used to a world without gods, a world where they were masters of all - including the terrifying dragons. But the dragons have awakened, the hole in reality is expanding, and the shackles that kept the half-gods controlled have been broken. The Black Moon lives on in the body of Berren Crowntaker, and has taken control. With an army behind him, the dragons above and the Dragon Queen at his side, he goes to war with his brother. The worlds are turning, and only one thing is sure - there will be an ending. THE SILVER KING is the triumphant conclusion to one of the most brutal and wide-ranging fantasy series of recent years.
