The Price of Faith — Rob J. Hayes

Separated and miserable, Thanquil Darkheart and Jezzet Vel'urn both have their reasons for wanting to leave the Dragon Empire. Jezzet flees from the wrathful fury of an Empress scorned, accompanied by the insidious pirate, Drake Morrass, while Thanquil, burdened by a demonic sword and a questionable mission, sets out to find and judge his one heretical loose end. The Price of Faith concludes the acclaimed The Ties That Bind trilogy by Rob J. Hayes. Look for the first book of Hayes' next series in the same setting, entitled Best Laid Plans, in 2016.
