In the latest Shadow Campaigns novel, Django Wexler
continues his “epic fantasy of military might and magical
conflict”* following The Shadow Throne and The
Thousand Names, as the realm of Vordan faces imminent
threats from without and within.
In the wake of
the King’s death, war has come to Vordan.
The
Deputies-General has precarious control of the city, but it
is led by a zealot who sees traitors in every shadow.
Executions have become a grim public spectacle. The new
queen, Raesinia Orboan, finds herself nearly powerless as
the government tightens its grip and assassins threaten her
life. But she did not help free the country from one sort of
tyranny to see it fall into another. Placing her trust with
the steadfast soldier Marcus D’Ivoire, she sets out to turn
the tide of history.
As the hidden hand of the Sworn
Church brings all the powers of the continent to war against
Vordan, the enigmatic and brilliant general Janus bet
Vhalnich offers a path to victory. Winter Ihernglass, newly
promoted to command a regiment, has reunited with her lover
and her friends, only to face the prospect of leading them
into bloody battle.
And the enemy is not just armed
with muskets and cannon. Dark priests of an ancient order,
wielding forbidden magic, have infiltrated Vordan to stop
Janus by whatever means necessary…
