The Molted Serpent

Consecrated murder in the Horas kingdom! For two years a charismatic consecrated person from the far north provided all sorts of topics for discussion in the Lieblichen Feld: He not only demanded an opening of the knowledge hoards for everyone, but also gathered a growing community around him, which has dedicated itself to mutual learning and teaching. Now he found death - by the hand of one of his disciples.

What made the young man turn against his mentor? The trail of the fugitive murderer of the antler leads to Vinsalt, the city of a hundred towers. But the dazzling metropolis is not only the capital of the Horas empire, but also the capital of conspirators and criminals. In the shadow of ancient monuments, mechanical marvels and magnificent temples and palaces, nothing is as it seems. Between the shady alleys of old Bosparan and the centres of political and ecclesiastical power, a confusion begins that can end dangerously for the careless. But those who master the game will not only influence their own fate.

Rise and fall are close in the imperial city. And the sacrilegious murder is only the beginning of an adventure that will lastingly change the hidden power network of the Horas Empire.
