As a wedding celebration between nations ramps up, the city is being pushed to the brink of open riots. To make matters worse, a prominent Granalchi Adept has been murdered in a manner so grisly, so brutal, so violent that it could only be the work of a madman. The question is who... or maybe, a better question is what. Akaran is going to have to fight the demons in his mind while trying to unravel a mystery that very few people have an interest in having solved. Otherwise, a dead mage is going to be the start of a celebration that only the dead will remember.The safest place in the Kingdom, to be sure... ...but insanity knows no respite. Welcome to a fantasy world for adults and only adults. Welcome to a world of blood, violence, swords and sorcery. Welcome to the Saga of the Dead Men Walking.
