With all the signs pointing to a witch being behind the murders, Ashaf and Guideau must track down the perp. Unfortunately for them, however, this serial killer is powerful and always seems to be one step ahead.

An outbreak of rogue undead baffles local police. Ashaf can't crack the case, but he knows who can: the Order's leading necromancer and her hapless assistant.

Helga and Guideau go head-to-head with the Paladin Corps's Matt Cugat, an ice mage with power to rival a witch. While they struggle to escape with the Demon Sword, Ashaf suspects a plot.
