'A stunning piece of modern fantasy writing' RJ Barker
'Utterly compelling, thoroughly engrossing and written with such skilful assurance I could barely put it down' Nicholas Eames
NO MAN IS ABOVE THE LAW
The Empire of the Wolf simmers with unrest. Rebels, heretics and powerful patricians all challenge the power of the imperial throne.
Only the Order of Justices stands in the way of chaos. Sir Konrad Vonvalt is the most feared Justice of all, upholding the law by way of his sharp mind, arcane powers and skill as a swordsman. At his side stands Helena Sedanka, his clerk and protégé, orphaned by the wars that forged the empire.
When the pair investigate the murder of a provincial aristocrat, they unearth a conspiracy that stretches to the very top of imperial society. As the stakes rise and become ever more personal, Vonvalt and Helena must make a choice: will they abandon the laws they've sworn to uphold in order to protect the empire?
Introducing an unforgettable protagonist destined to become a fantasy icon, The Justice of Kings is an unmissable debut where action, intrigue and magic collide.

The best judicial thriller in the genre of fantasy I've ever read!
When I held a copy of "The Justice of Kings" in my hands, Richard Swan was a completely unknown author to me. However, the blurb of his novel was so intriguing to me, that I had to read it instantly - and was rewarded with the best thriller I've read in my life when it comes to mixing historical fantasy with questions of jurisprudence. Swan's novel is in equal measure character as it is plot driven with events moving in unprecented speed. We follow the story through the eyes of Helena Sedanka, clerk and apprentice to the Empire's most famous justice Sir Konrad Vonvalt. Together with Helena and Vonvalt, we join a seemingly ordinary murder mystery only to find ourselves in the midst of a grander scheme to overthrow the Empire's judicial system. Swan's world is teeming with malevolence and political intrigue which captured me right from the beginning as well as shocking me (in the best way) with unexpected turns. "The Justice of Kings" is one of those rare books which cannot be described sufficiently with mundane words to praise its unparalleled ingenuity.
