To save it, Sir Konrad Vonvalt and Helena must seek allies beyond its borders, to the wolfmen of the southern plains and the pagan clans in the north. However, old grudges run deep, and both factions would benefit from the fall of Sova. Even these allies may not be enough. Their enemy, the zealot Bartholomew Claver, wields infernal powers bestowed upon him by a mysterious demonic patron. If Vonvalt and Helena are to stand against him, they will need friends on both sides of the mortal plane, but such allegiances come with a heavy price.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs the battlelines are drawn in both Sova and the afterlife, the final reckoning draws near. Here, at the beating heart of the Empire, the two-headed wolf will be reborn in a blaze of justice or crushed beneath the shadow of tyranny.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePraise for the Empire of the Wolf series:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"A stunning piece of modern fantasy writing.\" - RJ Barker\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Utterly compelling, thoroughly engrossing, and written with such skillful assurance I could barely put it down.\" - Nicholas Eames\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"A fantastic debut.\" - Peter McLean\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Equal parts heroic fantasy and murder mystery.\" - Richard Swan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Richard Swan's sophisticated take on the fantasy genre will leave readers hungry for more.\" - Sebastien de Castell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Great characters, compelling and wonderfully written.
