Ritual murders. A demon summoned. Demons attacking. Too many incidents for a small town where chance brings Lazar Richter—a judge of the holiest court.
After the death of the emperor, he is tasked with protecting the crown prince. Dangers lurk at every step, and the locals are hardly welcoming of the judge’s arrival either, since, because of his unusual abilities and foul temper, they consider him a messenger of dark forces. But what if this town becomes something more for Lazar than just a job? And only here will he be able to learn about his own lost past?
