THE INQUISITOR For generations, the Crown’s Inquisitors have been sent where ordinary authority fails—massacres, treason, forbidden cults, corrupt nobles, military atrocities. They answer directly to the throne and have enormous authority. The protagonist is one of the most feared among them. People have heard stories about the Inquisitor long before they ever see him. To soldiers, he’s the man you send when an army has failed. To criminals, he’s practically a bedtime story. To nobles, his arrival means somebody’s secrets are about to become very expensive.
