Summary
An epic fantasy about a young scion of a powerful banking dynasty struggling to survive in the aftermath of the destruction of his family

Davico di Regulai is on the run. Once the proud son of the most powerful man in the known world, he is now vulnerable, defeated, and has been betrayed and blinded by his sister. But in the twisty world of Navolese politics, power can shift in an eyeblink, and Davico is desperately searching for a way back in. He has one asset: his family relic, a dragon’s eye that allows him an apprehension more powerful than sight.

Deep in the mountains of the Romiglia, Davico lies in wait, gaining strength and forging alliances. But the road back to power is treacherous, and forces beyond Navola are amassing outside the city walls. Davico must navigate his way through poverty and slavery, plots and counterplots, to reclaim the legacy that was ripped from him.

The Machiavellian game of power has never been played so ruthlessly. A feat of world-building inspired by the House of Medici, Paolo Bacigalupi’s Dracchus Rising is the epic conclusion to Navola, and an intricately woven novel of deception and will.
