‘It came in this darkest of years, this winter of bitterest cold, when dire wolves loped rabid through the city, marauding, laying slaughter and waste upon man, woman, and child. When finally they retreated, it was believed a miracle from God. It was not.’
As plague howls through war-torn Asylum City, Sir Luther Slythe Krait is forced into the service of his mortal enemy, the notorious Gallows Lord.
Thrust into a deadly game of cat and mouse, can Sir Luther negotiate the labyrinth of Asylum’s treacherous political wasteland? Can he play one mad warlord off against another long enough to realize his quest? To uncover the truth behind a series of unspeakable murders?
With dark forces aligned against him and even allies plotting his demise, it seems impossible. Like a tightrope walker poised amidst a maelstrom, Sir Luther walks the razor’s edge.
Balance or fall, there lies but one certainty: He will bleed.
It’s mystery, mayhem, murder.
It’s Hammett’s The Maltese Falcon meets Abercrombie’s The First Law Series in this epic grimdark saga.
