Murder in the Querl

Someone murdered Ulder Talpior. A year after the Voths conquered the Acrinite Realm and took over constabulary duties in the city of Skunnik, the slaying of a religious leader has heightened tensions nearly to the breaking point. As rebels plot to take advantage of the coming chaos, and a dangerous agent of the exiled Acrinite leader arrives for unknown reasons, investigator Jarn Theffig turns to an unlikely ally-the sorceress Astil, the most dangerous woman in the known world.
