Bitter and merciless war is coming to the frozen north. The Union army, split by politics and incompetence, is utterly unprepared for the slaughter that's coming. In the heat-ravaged south the Gurkish are massing to assault the city of Dagoska, defended by Inquisitor Glokta. The city is braced for the inevitable defeat and massacre to come, preparations are made to make the Gurkish pay for every inch of land ...but a plot is festering to hand the city to its beseigers without a fight. Glokta needs answers soon. To the east, a small band of malefactors travel to the edge of the world to reclaim a device hidden for generations, with tremendous destructive potential, which could put a end to war, but only if it can be found, and only if its power can be controlled.
