The Trials of Empire

The Empire of the Wolf is on its knees, but there's life in the great beast yet. To save it, Sir Konrad Vonvalt and Helena must look beyond its borders for allies — to the wolfmen of the southern plains and the pagan clans of the north. But old grievances run deep, and both factions would benefit from the fall of Sova. Their enemy, the zealot Bartholomew Claver, wields infernal powers bestowed on him by a mysterious demonic patron. If Vonvalt and Helena are to stand against him, they will need friends on both sides of the mortal plane — but such allegiances carry a heavy price. The final reckoning is at hand. The two-headed wolf will be reborn in a blaze of justice . . . or crushed beneath the shadow of tyranny.
