Next book of the Ghosts series and again I can only recommend it. New enemies of the Emperor emerge unexpectedly when Istarish slavers attack harbor city Marsis with great support of army from New Kyre led by Stormsinger (something like archpriest or high magus) and two Stormdancers (equivalent of battle mages).Unfortunately Caina is separated from the rest of the Ghosts being in the streets during the attack with Ark's son Nicolai who was kidnaped by slavers. Now she has to fight on her own to save her life and save Nicolai from slavery. Meanwhile rest of the Ghosts are trying to get to the north gate of Marsis to held it open for Legions which are seeking slavers outside Marsis. Ark knows holding the gate is the only chance to see his son again. You'll find the dark necromancy here as well like in the previous books.You'll find there also elite Immortal warriors with black skull helms. I don't know why, but this reminds me on the very similar characters also called Immortals from Frank Miller's comic book 300. Maybe source of inspiration?For those who already red previous books I would recommend them to continue in the series. For the rest it's very good reading you should give a chance.
