Publisher's Summary

Praise be to Our Lady of Eternal Sorrows, and blessed be the Ascended Martyr.' Those were the words on lips of the faithful: Blessed be the Ascended Martyr, and woe betide you if you thought otherwise. The word Unbeliever had become a death sentence on the streets in those days.

Gangster, soldier, priest. Governor, knight, and above all, Queen's Man.

Once, Tomas Piety looked after his men, body and soul, as best he could. Then those who ran his country decided his dark talents would better serve in the corridors of power.

Crushed by the power of the Queen's Men and with the Skanian menace rising once more on the streets of Ellinburg, Tomas Piety is forced to turn to old friends, old debts and untrustworthy alliances.

Meanwhile in the capital city of Dannsburg, Dieter Vogel is beginning to wonder if the horror he has unleashed in the Martyr's Disciples might be getting out of control.

With revolution brewing and tragedy and terrorism running rife in the cities, Piety and Vogel must each weigh the cost of a crown.

overjoyed, overawed. I wish it wasn't over.

just that if you like gritty low magic, decent violence and a writer with an amazing brain. You cannot be anything but happy to have shared a small piece of your existence with this story. Just buy these books. The narrator is brilliant. WOw.

strong deep characters

Fans of Joe Abercrombie, The First Law, will enjoy this series. There are a great deal of deeply relatable anti-hero's that jump off the page.
