Synopsis
I have a thousand year old scroll, but I can't read it, and the answer lies in the muck.
I'm gonna level with you. The situation is less than ideal. We have the drowned Queen's scroll, sure, but none of us can read it. Whoever wrote it enchanted the scroll to prevent just anyone from knowing what they'd written. That's not exactly good for me.
I need to know what's on it.
The only problem is, I can't break the spell. None of us can. The only way to read the scroll is to secure a rare substance known as Aetherglass, and in order to do that, we have to ask Magister Eliphas for help. Remember Eliphas? The person I stole the scroll from in the first place? The only thing I have working for me is the Magister's insatiable curiosity. He wants to know what's written on the scroll just as badly as I do. Maybe that's enough to secure his help, maybe it isn't, but I have to try.
Meanwhile, none of us have heard from Asmodius—Axel's crime-lord father—and that's making us all nervous. We're still shacked up with Becket and his demons, and as long as we're under his care, we're safe. But that can't go on forever, and when tragedy strikes, the sands of time truly start falling. If we want the tool we need to read the scroll, we're going to have to dive into a deep, dark place to get it.
A place where no one does anything for nothing. A place where no good deed goes unpunished. A place where virtue and decency go to die like wounded animals.
The Wardbreaker Series is a fast paced urban fantasy by an author constantly praised for bringing a touch of freshness to the genre. If you're looking for great action, fantastic characters, and a twisting story that's not without it's romance, scroll up and pre-order now!
