Dun-Cadal has been drinking his life away for years. Betrayed by his friends - who turned their back on their ideals in favour of a new republic - and grief stricken at the loss of his apprentice, who saved his life on the battlefield and whom he trained as a knight in exchange, he's done with politics, with adventure, and with people.But people aren't finished with him - not yet. Viola is a young historian looking for the last Emperor's sword, and her search not only brings her to Dun-Cadal, it's also going to embroil them both in a series of assassinations. Because Dun-Cadal's turncoat friends are being murdered, one by one. . . by someone who kills in the unmistakable style of an Imperial assassin. . .

Industry Reviews

A club sandwich of present-day action and flashback explainers that blend into each other to keep the pacing brisk. -- Dean Evans * SFX Magazine *
Rouard has a talent for character depiction. -- Daniel Cairns * SciFi Now *
The Path of Anger has outstanding writing style - I would say arguably better than anything in contemporary secondary world fantasy genre - superbly drawn characters and narrative momentum. * fantasybookcritic.blogspot.co.uk *
Rouaud's slow reveal of the backstory promises intriguing future volumes of fantasy noir with a distinctly continental sensibility. -- Eric Brown * The Guardian *
The Path of Anger is a much richer, darker and subtler story than a mere quest novel * SFF World *
