Welcome back to the world of the Earth’s Ring, dear reader! And you’d better know its heroes and villains, otherwise the stories collected in this book may shock you.
Shevedaya, the best thief in Styria, and Javra, a lioness from Hoskopp—two women so different, and yet friends.
Betod, king of the North, and Logen Ninefingers—an absolutely perfect killing machine. But can you achieve the peace you desire when your friend is insane?
Zand dan Glokta is a brilliant officer of His Majesty’s army: unmatched master of fencing, the favorite of a field marshal—and… a notorious scoundrel. There’s definitely something he can talk over with the Gurks.
