Stephen Deas - The Splintered Gods (Silver Kings 3, epub) - j_ray

Dragons flame, cities burn, and the wrath of the Bloody Judge rises in the
latest from the author who brought dragons back to their full glory, might, and
terror.

Captured by an unknown enemy and forced to wage war on his rivals, the Dragon
Queen has found herself hated and feared by all the people of this new land. There
is little they can do to hurt her while she has her dragon, but she cannot escape while
the magic necklace she is forced to wear remains active, or it will throttle her.
Meanwhile the enemies of her new master are gathering for revenge. Lost in a body
that isn't his own, Berren - the Bloody Judge - continues his search for the man
who stole his life. Accompanied by a single Adamantine soldier, they scrabble to
survive in a world shaken by the Dragon Queen's attack and suspicious of all those
who are strangers. But there is another power inside Berren, one which escapes when
he is in danger and has the habit of disintegrating those around him, and that
power has its own agenda - one that will lead it to the Dragon Queen, and battle.
