Epub v5Johanna, Roald, Nellie and Loesie return undercover
to the devastated city of Saardam. In the months since they fled, the Fire
Wizard Alexandre has ruled the town with campaigns of death and fear, focused
on the eradication of the Church of the Triune, the former state church of
Saarland that doesn't allow magic and that is more popular with the common
people than with nobles.
Johanna meets up with underground members of the church, even though her little
gift of magic makes her feel ambivalent about it. She knows that ousting
Alexandre will require a powerful magician, something she and her followers do
not have. What is more, Alexandre's men discover the group, and the band of
resistance fighters faces the showdown with the tyrant long before they're even
close to ready for it.
