Publisher's Summary

Praise be to Our Lady of Eternal Sorrows, and blessed be the Ascended Martyr.' Those were the words on lips of the faithful: Blessed be the Ascended Martyr, and woe betide you if you thought otherwise. The word Unbeliever had become a death sentence on the streets in those days.

Gangster, soldier, priest. Governor, knight, and above all, Queen's Man.

Once, Tomas Piety looked after his men, body and soul, as best he could. Then those who ran his country decided his dark talents would better serve in the corridors of power.

Crushed by the power of the Queen's Men and with the Skanian menace rising once more on the streets of Ellinburg, Tomas Piety is forced to turn to old friends, old debts and untrustworthy alliances.

Meanwhile in the capital city of Dannsburg, Dieter Vogel is beginning to wonder if the horror he has unleashed in the Martyr's Disciples might be getting out of control.

With revolution brewing and tragedy and terrorism running rife in the cities, Piety and Vogel must each weigh the cost of a crown.

Excellent Finalé

This is such a well written series and is presented beautifully by David Morley Hale. I couldn’t put this one down! Sad the series is done!

Felt very lackluster personally

I just don’t get it. it felt like nothing mattered and nothing paid off. stuff just happens, interesting questions are asked but not explored, stuff happens some characters die and then it ends. A wall filled of unfired Chekhov’s guns and it really made it feel like the author was changing their mind on the setting and characters from book to book. The finale made me feel things where very inconsistent. Like they come up for their one terms for things like battleshock then just use modern speech like no rest for the wicked “a quote form the scriptures”. I just don’t get why folks enjoy this one from a narrative perspective. The prose is good the characters are interesting but the story feels pointless to me at least. Few of the things I cared about have answers and I’m left thinking why about most of it
