The Dagger and the Coin is a series of high fantasy novels by the American writer Daniel Abraham. The first volume of the series, The Dragon's Path, was first published in 2011 and the fifth and final installment, The Spider's War, was released in 2016.
The series is a tale of people coming to power unprepared and what they do as they come of age and learn to wield their new power. It is also a look into what actually wins wars: military might, "the dagger", or money, "the coin".
