About this ebook

Detective. Judge. Executioner.

In an icy, Victorianesque world, a harsh god rules, and He has one law: a life for a life.

Konrad Savast is the Malykant: detective, judge and executioner in one. It's kill and be killed in Konrad's world, and his unhappy duty to mete out his Master's implacable justice.

The body of an aristocrat lies in the mist-shrouded reaches of the Bone Forest. Her killer has signed their own death warrant; but first, Konrad must learn who could have wanted the delightful Lady Rostikova dead...

With a pair of bloodthirsty ghosts to assist him, Konrad will hunt her ladyship's killer the length and breadth of the city — and stop at nothing to finally bring them down.

The supernatural meets classic murder mystery in this tale of dark justice, deduction and black magic.

The first few pages itself promises an interesting story and premise. And it did. No meandering storyline or complicated plots but the book managed to remain intriguing and interesting. Good short read.

Sherlock Holmes meets the Punisher meets Servant of the Gods meets the literary classics. Very fresh and compelling. Complex relationship alluded to in the god/servant role playing. Almost reads like an ancient Greek or Roman tale. Easily a long running series to be returned to again and again.

An elegant & captivating fantasy with characters that you want to know more about. The only complaint I have is that it was too short! If you love magical tales, you will love this.
