''The Dagger And The Coin'' is a fantasy series written by Daniel Abraham. The first novel in the series, ''The Dragon's Path'' was released in 2011. Its sequel, ''The King's Blood'' was released in the spring of 2012.
In ages of the distant path the world was ruled by dragons who united the lands with a network of indestructible jade roads. They also divided the human race into thirteen distinct subspecies. These ranged from the "normal" Firstbloods, to the canine Tralgu, to the insectoid Timzinae. Other sub-races had subtler traits, such as the Dartinae whose eyes glow - even through their eyelids - and Cinnae with their pale, elfin appearance.

Meanwhile, Marcus Wesker, a military hero turned mercenary has problems of his own. He has to find a way to guard a merchant caravan fleeing Vanai without his usual soldiers, and one of the cart drivers is hiding his real identity and hauling a cargo worth more to the Anteans than anything else Vanai has to offer.
