“The Executioner’s Mark” is a standalone novel set in the same world as the popular trilogy by the author “Hard Times” (Тяжелые будни), with the main heroine named Angelina de la Varga. But the story we’re offering is completely different, and features a new heroine—though some familiar characters do appear at times.
In a magical world, a graduate of a police academy joins the service at precinct 9-9, known for its harsh rules. Women here, of course, work—but only as secretaries and dispatchers. As patrol officers or investigators… no way! However, Triss intends to prove that she’s more than suitable for this kind of job. Circumstances play into her favor; the heroine has every chance to get what she wants. The trouble is that in this life, everything comes at a price. Will Triss be willing to pay?
