Reviews"Murder mystery meets grimdark political fantasy in this first of a trilogy ... An intriguingly dark deconstruction of a beloved mystery trope."-- Kirkus (starred review), " The Justice of Kings is utterly compelling, thoroughly engrossing, and written with such skillful assurance I could barely put it down. The characters feel so real I swear I suffered every horror and hangover alongside them, and their world--though we see just the smallest portion of it here--feels vastly complex, poised on the brink of a disaster I can't wait to watch unfold."-- Nicholas Eames, author of Kings of the Wyld, "The world of the Empire of the Wolf is a rich and interesting one ... Readers will enjoy the world building, Sir Konrad and his crew, and the unique touches to a familiar fantasy tale."-- Booklist, " The Justice of Kings instantly claimed a place as one of my favourite reads of the year. With vivid characters, impeccable storytelling, and an eloquent voice, it combines so many elements I love - mystery, brooding war, necromancy and a cast of characters who felt so real, I was loathe to turn the final page. It was absolutely riveting, and I can't wait to continue the series."-- H. M. Long, author of Hall of Smoke, "A fascinating look at justice, vengeance and the law -- great characters, compelling and wonderfully written. A brilliant debut and fantastic start to the series."-- James Islington, author of The Shadow of What Was Lost

SynopsisAction, intrigue, and magic collide in this epic fantasy following Sir Konrad Vonvalt, an Emperor's Justice, who is a detective, judge, and executioner all in one--but with rebellion and unrest building, these are dangerous times to be a Justice . . . 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.
