Synopsis

In the tumultuous Empire of the Wolf, where rebels, heretics, and powerful patricians threaten the imperial throne, only the Order of Justices stands between order and chaos. Sir Konrad Vonvalt, the most feared Justice, is a formidable figure wielding a sharp mind, arcane powers, and swordsmanship to uphold the law. By his side is Helena Sedanka, his clerk and protégé, scarred by the very wars that forged the empire. Their latest investigation plunges them into the murder of a provincial aristocrat, an inquiry that quickly unravels a vast conspiracy reaching the highest echelons of imperial society. As the stakes escalate and the personal toll rises, Vonvalt and Helena face an agonizing dilemma: compromise the very laws they've sworn to protect, or risk the empire's collapse. This unmissable debut merges action, intrigue, and magic, introducing an unforgettable protagonist destined to become a fantasy icon.
