In the midst of war, Superior Glokta must protect a city surrounded by enemies and riddled with traitors, all while dealing with unreliable allies and a vanished predecessor. Northmen spill across Angland's borders, threatening the frozen realm. Crown Prince Ladisla, determined to repel the invaders, commands an ill-equipped army. Meanwhile, Bayaz the First of the Magi heads a bold expedition through ruins, joined by the South's most despised woman, the North's worst—yet each must confront personal grudges to confront the lurking threat of the Eaters. Ancient secrets surface, battles rage, and bitter enemies face judgment—all before they are hanged.
