In Death's Wake

Résumé du livre

The hamlet of Kirkwall, nestled between misty hills and ancient forests, promises a much-needed respite for Sersie. She arrives seeking little more than warm fires, good company, and a chance to pay homage to a childhood hero. But beneath the town's charming veneer, something is amiss. A sense of unease lingers in the cold air, whispers of vanished travelers, locked doors at sundown, and villagers too wary to speak of what lurks beyond the torchlight.

When tragedy strikes, Sersie finds herself entangled in the affairs of the formidable Baroness Daffea Mistmark, a sorceress as captivating as she is dangerous. As a storm brews over Kirkwall-both in the skies and beneath its very foundations-Sersie must decide if she'll be the outsider who moves on... or the hero who stays.

Something stirs in the night. And if Sersie isn't careful, it may claim more than just her life.
