A haunted lighthouse. A Justice accused of murder. And a single question—What is The Scour? In the dying port town of Gdansburg, Sir Konrad Vonvalt finds the unthinkable: a fellow Justice imprisoned for the murder of a young boy. Despite the furious insistence of the townsfolk, the only...

Per salvarlo, sir Konrad Vonvalt ed Helena devono cercare alleati oltre i confini, dagli uomini-lupo delle Pianure Meridionali ai pagani del Nord, ma i vecchi rancori sono duri a morire ed entrambe le fazioni trarrebbero solo vantaggi dalla caduta di Sova. Senza contare che se pure riuscissero a convincerli, i nuovi alleati potrebbero non bastare a sconfiggere il nemico, il fanatico Bartolomeo Claver con i suoi poteri infernali conferitigli da un misterioso essere demoniaco. E mentre le frontiere del conflitto si delineano sia a Sova sia nell'Aldilà, la resa dei conti è sempre più vicina.

La révolte gronde dans l'Empire du Loup. Les rebelles, les hérétiques et les puissants patriciens contestent tous le pouvoir du trône impérial. Sir Konrad Vonvalt est le Justice le plus redouté de tous, faisant respecter la loi grâce à son esprit vif, ses pouvoirs arcaniques et son habileté à l'épée. En enquêtant sur un meurtre, ils découvrent une conspiration qui s'étend jusqu'au sommet de la société impériale et qui prend racine dans le royaume démoniaque de l'après-vie.

Il lavoro di un giudice non ha mai fine. La battaglia di Galen's Vale si è conclusa, ma la guerra per il futuro dell'Impero è appena cominciata. In senato, i patrizi si esprimono apertamente contro l'imperatore, mentre i fanatici predicano la santa vendetta per le strade.

Come giudice dell'imperatore, sir Konrad Vonvalt ha sempre l'ultima parola. Il suo dovere è quello di attuare la legge dell'Impero utilizzando qualsiasi strumento a sua disposizione: la lama, gli arcani segreti tramandati da un giudice all'altro o il patrimonio di conoscenze sulla legislazione imperiale. A mano a mano che il caso si complica, Vonvalt inizia a dipanare una cospirazione che ha lo scopo di sopprimere l'autorità dei giudici una volta per tutte affinché il caos e l'anarchia dilaghino nell'Impero.

Are you a terrible singer? Have you been told that you're tone-deaf? Were you asked to mime in the school choir? Would you love to join a choir, but you don't think you could ever be good enough to do so? If you've answered yes to any of those questions, this book is aimed specifically at you. Here is a fact; if you can recognise melodies, you're highly unlikely to be tone-deaf, and therefore you have the potential to learn to sing. It doesn't matter how many people have told you that you can't sing, the truth is that you probably can be taught how to do so.

The Empire of the Wolf is on its knees, but there's life in the great beast yet. To save it, Sir Konrad Vonvalt and Helena must look beyond its borders for allies - to the wolfmen of the southern plains, and the pagan clans in the north. But old grievances run deep, and both factions would benefit from the fall of Sova. Even these allies might not be enough. Their enemy, the zealot Bartholomew Claver, wields infernal powers bestowed on him by a mysterious demonic patron.

Dort informiert der Kaiser persönlich Vonvalt darüber, dass das Oberhaupt des Richterordens ebenfalls zu den Verschwörern gehört, die das Reich bedrohen. Vonvalt soll die Leitung des Ordens übernehmen und dessen uraltes Magiewissen schützen. Bereits auf dem Weg nach Sova wurde er jedoch von einer mysteriösen Krankheit befallen.
