В отдаленном гарнизоне, где день за днем ничего не происходит, вынужден нести свою жалкую службу старший капитан Маркус Д’Ивуар. Проводя время за скучной бумажной работой, он готов переместиться хоть в ад, только бы покончить с никчемным существованием.

Сбежавшая из приюта Винтер Игернгласс скрывается под видом мужчины, рядового колониальных войск, и мечтает лишь о том, чтобы никто не раскрыл ее тайну и ей никогда не пришлось возвращаться в прошлое.

Однако размеренной жизни обоих приходит конец, когда внезапно вспыхнувшее восстание заставляет их бросить вызов врагу и взять на себя ответственность за судьбы своих товарищей. И выступить героям предстоит не только против мушкетов и клинков — главную опасность таит в себе почти незаметная, но при этом смертоносная магия.

Король ворданаев лежит на смертном одре. Скоро его дочь Расиния станет первой королевой страны за многие века — и мишенью для тех, кто стремится контролировать ее во имя собственной власти. Самый опасный из них — герцог Орланко, министр информации и глава тайной полиции. И он знает тайну, которая полностьюотдаст принцессу на его милость. Но Расиния находит внезапных союзников в лице вернувшегося в столицу героя войны Януса бет Вальниха и его верных подчиненных, капитана Маркуса д’Ивуара и лейтенанта Винтера Игернгласса. Маркус и Винтер пытаются отыскать свое место в доме, который, как они думали, никогда больше не увидят. И они же помогают Янусу и Расинии привести в движение цепь событий, способных разрушить тираническую власть Орланко, пусть даже ценой того, что страна погрузится в хаос. Однако они намерены защищать королевство всеми силами, находящимися в их распоряжении, реальными или магическими.

When he dies, his daughter, Raesinia Orboan, will become the first Queen Regnant in centuries—and a ripe target for the ambitious men who seek to control her. The most dangerous of these is Duke Orlanko, Minister of Information and master of the secret police. Having meticulously silenced his adversaries through intimidation, imprisonment, and execution, Orlanko is the most feared man in the kingdom. And he knows an arcane secret that puts Raesinia…

But she did not help free the country from…

Military might and arcane power clash in Django Wexler’s thrilling new Shadow Campaigns novel. The Beast, the ancient demon imprisoned beneath the fortress-city of Elysium for a thousand years, has been loosed on the world. It absorbs mind after mind, spreading like a plague through the north. The fell army it has raised threatens the heart of Vordan, and it is under the command of the Beast’s greatest prize: legendary general Janus bet Vhalnich. As Queen Raesinia Orboan and soldiers Marcus D’Ivoire and Winter Ihernglass grapple with the aftermath of a hard-fought military campaign, they soon discover a betrayal they never could…

As the roar of the guns subsides and the smoke of battle clears, the country of Vordan is offered a fragile peace…

After their shattering defeats at the hands of brilliant General Janus bet Vhalnich, the opposing powers have called all sides to the negotiating table in hopes of securing an end to the war. Queen Raesinia of Vordan is anxious to see the return of peace, but Janus insists that any peace with the implacable Sworn Church of Elysium is doomed to fail. For their Priests of the Black, there can be no truce with heretics and demons they seek to destroy, and the war is to the death.

Soldiers Marcus d’Ivoire and Winter Ihernglass find themselves caught between their general and their queen. Now, each must decide which leader truly commands their loyalty—and what price they might pay for final victory.

And in the depths of Elysium, a malign force is rising—and defeating it might mean making sacrifices beyond anything they have ever imagined.

The wagons travel north across the mountains, carrying cargo of great value: Hamveltai glass and porcelain; Deslandai jewelry in heavy iron strongboxes; fine cloth from the cities of the Old Coast. And Abraham.
Bound and tied, guarded day and night, Abraham has been stolen from his village, from the arms of the man he loved. He is being sent to the fortress-city of Elysium to serve a dark and ancient order, the Priests of the Black. They have discovered the secret he kept all his life: that inside him dwells a demon which allows him to heal…and to kill.
But Abraham is not alone. A young woman named Alex, similarly possessed, rides with him. And as a bond grows between them, they begin to wonder if they can turn the demons that have damned them into their salvation.

Alex is a master thief, with dark magic to give her an edge. When she goes up against Duke Orlanko's Concordat secret police, though, she may have taken on more than she bargained for... This is a prequel short story to The Thousand Names, Book One of The Shadow Campaigns.
