But did we mention the Union has a wizard? And yay, he’s back in town. The king is on his deathbed, the peasants are revolting, and the nobles are all trying to grab power.

Glokta is fighting a political war in the halls of the Union. The North is torn apart by War as Logen’s BFF-turned-enemy Bethod tries to secure an even bigger kingdom for himself. Fortunately the Union has a mage, Bayaz, but he’s gone on a holiday, taking Logen, Ferro and Jezal on a journey to find a MacGuffin of great power. Meanwhile, the Northmen are attacking the Union’s upper borders and the Union’s prince has been dispatched to fight them off…also not going great. Glokta has been shipped off to defend Dagoska, a small Union city-state surrounded by the Gurkish empire.
