The Tyrant's Law by Daniel Abraham

Amid a fracturing empire, a brilliant young banker struggles to safeguard her institution and the fragile networks of trade, a battle-hardened mercenary captain navigates shifting alliances and brutal campaigns, and a charismatic cleric-turned-ruler remakes law and faith into an authoritarian order—forcing friends and foes to reckon with the human costs of power, the corrosive lure of control, and the uneasy entanglement of commerce, war, and conscience.
