Lord Regent Geder Palliako's war has led his nation and the priests of the spider goddess to victory after victory. No power has withstood him, except for the heart of the one woman he desires. As the violence builds and the cracks in his rule begin to show, he will risk everything to gain her love or else her destruction.
Clara Kalliam, the loyal traitor, is torn between the woman she once was and the woman she has become. With her sons on all sides of the conflict, her house cannot stand, but there is a power in choosing when and how to fall.
And in Porte Oliva, banker Cithrin bel Sarcour and Captain Marcus Wester learn the terrible truth that links this war to the fall of the dragons millennia before, and that to save the world, Cithrin must conquer it.

-
"Everything I look for in a fantasy."George R.R. Martin on The Dragon's Path
-
"The Dagger and Coin series had this reviewer hooked from day one, but with The Widow's House, Abraham manages to wiggle the hook and embed it a bit further. The slow burn of the build in this series comes to a boiling point with brilliantly paced action separated by beautiful, quiet description. Abraham's characters win all as he takes readers through every step of their respective character evolutions."RT Book Reviews on The Widow's House
-
"Abraham builds on The Dragon's Path to create and sustain a rich, satisfyingly complex epic fantasy."Publishers Weekly on The King's Blood.
-
"Prepare to be shocked, startled, and entertained."Locus on The Dragon's Path
-
"It's as if Clint Eastwood went to Narnia...A pleasure for Abraham's legion of fans."Kirkus on The Dragon's Path
-
"Abraham is fiercely talented, disturbingly human, breathtakingly original and even on his bad days kicks all sorts of literary ass."Junot Diaz on The Long Price Quartet
-
"This smart, absorbing, fascinating military fantasy, exciting and genuinely suspenseful, will keep readers on their toes."Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) on The Tyrant's Law
