A dark detective story by Timür Suvorkin — about a cynical executioner girl and a warlock who carries his own head under his arm!
Mërgan, the new Nornberg executioner, arrives in the city to put an end to a murderer known as the Black Chef. Her blade has already sent ninety-nine people to the gallows, but the hundredth execution turns into trouble. Instead of death, the blow brings life — and permanently binds Mërgan to the decapitated sorcerer! Now these unwilling allies must find the real culprit and achieve justice before they themselves are declared accomplices of darkness.
“The Hundredth Execution” is a grim fantasy with a detective mystery, black humor, and two vivid antiheroes brought together by fate (and one extremely unfortunate swing of a sword).
