Description
A mortally wounded magistrate faces his deadliest trial inside an ancient abbey where the monks are going mad and the gods themselves may be to blame. Estevar Borros, one of the legendary sword-fighting magistrates known as the Greatcoats, is no stranger to tales of ghosts and demons. When the fractious monks of Isola Sombra's abbey begin warring over claims of a new pantheon arising, Estevar is summoned to settle the dispute. However, he has his own problems: a near-fatal sword wound, a sworn knight claiming proof of demonic consorting, a diabolical inquisitor with no love for the Greatcoats, and a mysterious young woman who may be both ally and enemy. Armed only with his investigative talents and faltering skill with a blade, Estevar must root out the source of the madness within Isola Sombra's walls before its chaos spreads to the country he's sworn to protect.
