THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES. BESTSELLER. 'A stunning piece of modern fantasy writing'. RJ Barker. 'Utterly compelling, thoroughly engrossing and written with such skilful assurance I could barely put it down'. Nicholas Eames. NO MAN IS ABOVE THE LAW. 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.

At his side stands Helena Sedanka, his clerk and protégé, orphaned by the wars that forged the empire. When the pair investigate the murder of a provincial aristocrat, they unearth a conspiracy that stretches to the very top of imperial society. As the stakes rise and become ever more personal, Vonvalt and Helena must make a choice: will they abandon the laws they've sworn to uphold in order to protect the empire.
