Konrad Savast is the Malykant: the most secret servant of the God of Death. His job? To track down the foulest of murderers and bring them to The Malykt's Justice. No mercy. No quarter.
Something is gravely amiss in the city of Ekamet.
The body of a homeless man lies under a bridge, torn to pieces. The serpents say it's not murder-not exactly. A merciless, violent death dealt by something... not human.
The trail leads into the Spiritlands, and Konrad must follow-whatever dangers await. And the dangers will prove severe. For something ancient and evil stalks the city at night; in hunting it, the Malykant may learn more than he ever wanted to know about the past...
