I have finished The Waking Fire, book one of Anthony Ryan's The Draconis Memoria trilogy.
The world is divided, half ruled by the tyrannical imperialism of Corvantine Empire and half by the corporate ideology of the Ironship Trading Syndicate. Both fueled by the blood of drakes and powers they below upon their Blood-Blessed drinkers. Yet deep in the Interior of Arradsia slept a terrible power that feels naught but hate towards humanity. A power, a drake labeled myth, that while dreaming killed or Spoiled tens of thousands. A drake now terribly awake, bringing the ancient Seer's prophesy dark fruition. War is coming, revolution is nigh; and Lizanne Lethridge, Shareholder and trained spy, Claydon Torcreek Longrifle and betrayed, and Corrick Hilemore, acting Ironship Captain and negotiator, must ride the waves to end the coming storm. For the White knows no mercy.
No Grimdark here and I absolutely intend to finish this breathtakingly unique masterwork.
