Death's Executioner by Charlotte E English

Death's Executioner by Charlotte E English

Detective. Judge. Executioner.

Konrad Savast is the Malykant: foremost and most secret servant of the God of Death. His job? To track down the foulest of murderers and bring them to The Malykt's Justice. No mercy. No quarter.

The Zolin Conspiracy: Out in the deep snow lies the body of a gentleman -- missing his head. Bogdan Zolin's death proves a mystery difficult to solve, for nobody seems to know anything about him at all. Konrad must delve deep into the hidden secrets of the aristocratic world -- a challenge that may prove dangerous indeed.

The Tarasov Despite: Verinka Tarasovna dies alone in the street on a cold morning, cursing her brother's name. Was he her killer? Unhappy secrets lie buried beneath the semblance of a happy family, and the truth proves elusive. What's more, Verinka's ghost is not quite gone.

The Malefic Curse: The body of a homeless man lies under a bridge, torn to pieces. His death was violent, merciless -- and delivered by something inhuman. The trail leads into the Spiritlands, and Konrad must follow, whatever dangers await. For something ancient and evil stalks the city at night.

Shandral: Reeling in the aftermath of the malefic curse, the city of Ekamet knows no peace, for a new killer strikes. Two men lie dead, gaping holes where their eyes used to be; but Konrad is adrift in the wake of disaster. The Malykant must save the city once again, but can he first save himself?

The Malykant faces four stone-cold killers in Death's Executioner, the concluding volume in the dark tales of Konrad Savast.

Charlotte, who is English by birth and nationality, hasn't let emigration to the Netherlands impair her basic Britishness (much). She enjoys drinking excessive amounts of tea while writing colorful fantasy stories, and she never misses an occasion to apologize for something. Her writings include the Draykon Series, Modern Magick, The Malykant Mysteries, and the Tales of Aylfenhame, which span the gamut from light to dark.
