The republic faces annihilation, regardless of the vigilance of Galharrow's Blackwings. Whenever a raven tattoo rips itself from his arm to provide a desperate meaning, Galharrow and a mysterious noblewoman must investigate a long dead sorcerer's legacy. But there's a conspiracy within the citadel: traitors, flesh-eaters and the spirits of the wastelands seek to eliminate them, but if indeed they cannot solve the ancient wizard's paradox, the Deep Kings will walk the earth again, and everything will be lost. The battle with the Eastern Empire ended in stalemate some 80 years back because of Nall's Engine unit, a wizard-crafted tool so powerful even the Deep Kings feared it. The reach of the engine unit created the Misery - a wasteland filled with spirits and corrupted magic that now forms a no-man's-land across the frontier. However when Galharrow investigates a frontier fortress, he discovers complacency bordering on treason: then the surfaces are stormed, and the engine unit fails to establish. Galharrow escapes only due to preternatural magical electric power of the noblewoman he was said to be protecting. Collectively they race to the administrative centre to unmask the traitors and reestablish the republic's defences. Very good over the Misery, an enormous army is on the move, as the empire prepares to call the republic's bluff. Blackwing is a gritty epic fantasy for followers of Mark Lawrence, Scott Lynch and Daniel Polansky. Read by Colin Mace.
