With all the signs pointing to a witch being behind the murders, Ashaf and Guideau must track down the perp. Unfortunately for them, however, this serial killer is powerful and always seems to be one step ahead.

An outbreak of rogue undead baffles local police. Ashaf can't crack the case, but he knows who can: the Order's leading necromancer and her hapless assistant.

Wounded and worn out, Ashaf, Guideau, and Cugat are all that stand between an Executioner with a fortress full of Paladins at his command and the Demon Sword.
