In the ninth book of the series “The Path of the Inquisitor,” women come to Wolkoff’s aid. Unforeseen and terrifying blows from the enemy army force him to realize the need for witchcraft. At that moment, women step in to help the cavalier: one is ready to fight a dangerous witch, another provides a reliable rear guard, the third is carrying an heir, and the fourth looks after the interests at court. However, conflicts arise among the helpers, which could lead to serious trouble.
