Johannes Cabal is back
- a little older a little wiser but just as sharply funny cuttingly sarcastic & unexpectedly violent as ever. For necromancer Johannes Cabal dealing with devils demons & raising the dead is pretty much par for the course. But when his attempt to steal a rare book turns sour he is faced by a far more terrifying entity
- politics. While awaiting execution for his crime Cabal is forced to resurrect an inconveniently deceased emperor. Seizing his chance the cunning Cabal engineers his escape fleeing the country on a state-of-the-art flying ship. But the ship has more than a few unpleasant surprises including an unwelcome face from the past & the small matter of some mysterious murders. Cabal may work with corpses but he has absolutely no intention of becoming one. Drawn into a deadly conspiracy is he shuffling dangerously close to the end of his mortal coil?
