In the hellish sprawl of Imperial Terra, Ordo Hereticus Inquisitor Erasmus Crowl serves as a stalwart and vigilant protector, for even the Throneworld is not immune to the predations of its enemies. In the course of his Emperor-sworn duty, Crowl becomes embroiled in a dark conspiracy, one that leads all the way to the halls of the Imperial Palace.

As he plunges deeper into the shadowy underbelly of the many palace districts, his investigation attracts the attention of hidden forces, and soon he and his acolyte Spinoza are being hunted - by heretics, xenos, servants of the Dark Powers, or perhaps even rival elements of the Inquisition itself. Soon they discover a terrible truth, one that if allowed to get out could undermine the very fabric of the Imperium itself.

While the plot isn’t the most innovative—a cynical old detective(inquisitor) and an idealistic young one discover a conspiracy that goes all the way to the top—it’s exactly that type of story that allows the setting to really shine. Terra is monstrous, inhuman, and brutal, and our characters do what little they can to keep it from getting worse

Very compelling depiction of Earth in Warhammer

I liked the character development and suspense. I felt like they could have done more with the assassin.

Very well written

Every single publication by Wraight edges him higher and higher up my favorite Black Library authors. This was a great introduction to the inquisition on Terra and its relationship with the Palace.

Another hit by Chris
