Aprašymas

Do not go gentle into that ghouled night.

Valentine IX, orphaned son of Britannia and state-sanctioned executioner, sits in an Anatolian cell accused of a murder he did not commit. While such accommodations are hardly unfamiliar to the man he has become, this time is different. This time, Valentine is charged with the slaughter of a Germani princess a mere week before she was to be wed. And so-armed with nothing but pen and parchment, and filled with a nagging sense of duty-it is up to Valentine to set the record straight.

Thus begins the swan song of Valentine the Butcher, a tale of intrigue and betrayal set against the backdrop of an otherworldly metropolis on the fringes of a sprawling empire teeming with gravity-defying skyships, infernal monsters, systemic greed, and draconian double-agents. And it is here, amidst society's seedy underbelly, that Valentine first encounters the foul curse that started it all-a plague known only to myth, tied to a legend that may never die.

In a world where naked flame is outlawed and monsters are common as cattle, the fate of humanity will hinge upon the ink-stained ramblings of an avowed arsonist. But you know what they say...

Ignis aurum probat.

Fire tests gold.

If you like Jim Butcher, Shayne Silvers, Kevin Hearne, Steve McHugh, Ilona Andrews, Patricia Briggs, Shannon Mayer, or K.F. Breene, you won't be able to put down the highly addictive Echoes of Ventlight.
