HTML:<b>From the <i>New York Times</i> best-selling author of <i>The Windup Girl</i> and <i>The Water Knife</i> comes a sweeping literary historical fantasy about the young scion from a ruling-class family who faces rebellion as he ascends to power.<br /> "Steeped in poison, betrayal, and debauchery, reading <i>Navola</i> is like slipping into a luxurious bath full of blood." —Holly Black, #1 <i>New York Times</i> best-selling author</b><br /> <i>"You must be as sharp as a stilettotore’s dagger and as subtle as a fish beneath the waters. This is what it is to be Navolese, this is what it is to be di Regulai."</i><br /> In Navola, a bustling city-state dominated by a handful of influential families, business is power, and power is everything. For generations, the di Regulai family—merchant bankers with a vast empire—has nurtured tendrils that stretch to the farthest reaches of the known world. And though they claim not to be political, their staggering wealth has bought cities and toppled kingdoms. Soon, Davico di Regulai will be expected to take the reins of power from his father and demonstrate his mastery of the games of Navolese diplomacy: knowing who to trust and who to doubt, and how to read what lies hidden behind a smile. But in Navola, strange and ancient undercurrents lurk behind the gilt and grandeur—like the fossilized dragon eye in the family’s possession, a potent symbol of their raw power and a talisman that seems to be summoning Davico to act.<br /> As tensions rise and the events unfold, Davico will be tested to his limits. His fate depends on the eldritch dragon relic and on what lies buried in the heart of his adopted sister, Celia di Balcosi, whose own family was destroyed by Nalova’s twisted politics. With echoes of Renaissance Italy, <i>The Godfather</i>, and <i>Game of Thrones</i>, <i>Navola</i> is a stunning feat of world-building and a mesmerizing depiction of drive and will.
