![]() The narrative begins with Helena, Vonvalt, the former Legion soldier Bressinger and a priest called Calver, travelling to the village of Rill, where it is rumoured a witch of the outlawed Draedist religion resides. That’s not to say that Sir Konrad Vonvalt is not at the forefront of this story because he most certainly is, but it is more to say that we see his character through the critical eye of Helena as she chronicles their journey and her own adolescence. The Justice of Kings is an addictive fantasy Sherlock Holmes-esque tale, with eerie touches of the supernatural, and a thought-provoking reflection on justice, vengeance and morality. Helena Sedanka is our narrator, and she gives us a first person account of all that happened during the periods she spent as a clerk accompanying Vonvalt on his duties throughout the Empire.īy no means was I disappointed by this, in fact this novel truly shines because Swan creates such a compelling narrative voice through Helena. This is a book which surprised me in many ways, most predominantly we are led to believe the narrator of this tale would be Konrad Vonvalt, the Emperor’s Justice, yet it is not. ![]() ![]() ![]() The Justice of Kings is the fantastic debut novel by Richard Swan and marks the first book in the Empire of the Wolf trilogy. ![]()
