A new age of exploration and innovation has dawned, and the Empire of the Wolf stands to take its place as the foremost power in the known world. Glory and riches await. But dark days are coming. A mysterious plague has broken out in the pagan kingdoms to the north, while in the south, the Empire's proxy war in the lands of the wolfmen is weeks away from total collapse. Worse still is the message brought to the Empress by two heretic monks, who claim to have lost contact with the spirits of the afterlife.

The Empire of the Wolf simmers with unrest. Rebels, heretics and powerful patricians all challenge the power of the imperial throne. Only the Order of Justices stands in the way of chaos.

At his side stands Helena Sedanka, his clerk and protégé, orphaned by the wars that forged the empire.

The Empire of the Wolf is on its knees, but there's life in the great beast yet. To save it, Sir Konrad Vonvalt and Helena must look beyond its borders for allies - to the wolfmen of the southern plains, and the pagan clans in the north. But old grievances run deep, and both factions would benefit from the fall of Sova. Even these allies might not be enough. Their enemy, the zealot Bartholomew Claver, wields infernal powers bestowed on him by a mysterious demonic patron.

While she travels to the Principality of Casimir to enlist the help of the Empire's oldest enemy, Lieutenant Peter Kleist returns to the haunted forests of the New East to search for ancient answers - and finally confront the terrible fate that awaits him.

Come giudice dell'imperatore, sir Konrad Vonvalt ha sempre l'ultima parola. Il suo dovere è quello di attuare la legge dell'Impero utilizzando qualsiasi strumento a sua disposizione: la lama, gli arcani segreti tramandati da un giudice all'altro o il patrimonio di conoscenze sulla legislazione imperiale. A mano a mano che il caso si complica, Vonvalt inizia a dipanare una cospirazione che ha lo scopo di sopprimere l'autorità dei giudici una volta per tutte affinché il caos e l'anarchia dilaghino nell'Impero.
