A collection of stories from the “Earth Circle” series.

Welcome back to the world of the Earth Circle, dear reader! And you better know his heroes and villains, otherwise the stories collected in this book may shock you. Shevedaya, the best thief of Styria, and Javra, the Lioness of Hoskopp, are two very different women, and yet friends. Bethod, King of the North, and Logen the Nine-Toes, the ultimate killing machine. But is it possible to achieve the desired peace when your friend is mad? Zand dan Glokta is a brilliant officer in His Majesty’s army: an unsurpassed fencing master, the field marshal’s favorite and... a notorious scoundrel. He definitely has something to talk about with the Gurkhas.
