Divadlo mrtvých – Hoza Jakub (2025)

REVISED EDITION OF DARK FANTASY BY THE AUTHOR OF THE BESTSELLER "LIKE DEATH ITSELF"

The streets of the city of Charogne buzz with unease. The discovery of a woman's body at the docks has shaken everyone. Most of all, it has troubled Captain Averi of the city watch, who, along with his friend Dárius, a priest from the local cathedral, sets out to uncover a vile conspiracy.

They are not alone in this. Lady Valerie Foxworth, a Luminary from a neighboring country, is determined to do whatever it takes to help bring justice. Or at least she thinks so.

None of them realize that someone else is approaching the city. He carries with him a pamphlet enticing people to a theatrical performance and a bag full of heads. He is a dark legend that bandits and other rogues use to frighten others. A mad executioner. A hunter whom nothing can stop. A greater beast than his victims. The embodiment of death.

For Nathaniel Darnsworn, the murder in Charogne is just another job. At least until he discovers that he is to meet his fate there… and that a performance is approaching that the citizens of the city will not soon forget. If they survive it at all.
