It’s been over half a year, now, since the brutal murder of Archbishop William de Laurent during his pilgrimage to the Galicien city of Davillon. During that time, the Church of the Hallowed Pact has assigned a new bishop to the city—but it has also made its displeasure at the death of its clergyman quite clear. Davillon’s economy has suffered beneath the weight of the Church’s displeasure. Much of the populace—angry at the clergy— has turned away from the Church hierarchy, choosing private worship or small, independent shrines. And the bishop, concerned for his new position and angry at the people of Davillon, plans to do something about it. But a supernatural threat is stalking the nighttime streets—a creature of the other world has come to infiltrate the seedier streets of Davillon, to intertwine its tendrils through the lower echelons of society. Faced with both political upheaval and a supernatural threat to its citizenry, the local representatives of the Church are paralyzed and the Guardsmen are in over their heads. And then there’s Widdershins--who’s tried, and failed, to stay out of trouble since taking over Genevieve’s tavern; who’s known to the Church and the Guard both, and trusted by neither; who may, with some of her Thieves’ Guild contacts, have unwittingly played a part in the bishop’s plans; and who, along with her personal god Olgun, may be the only real threat to the supernatural evil infesting Davillon.

Once she was Adrienne Satti. An orphan of Davillon, she had somehow escaped destitution and climbed to the ranks of the city's aristocracy in a rags-to-riches story straight from an ancient fairy tale. Until one horrid night, when a conspiracy of forces--human and other--stole it all away in a flurry of blood and murder. Today she is Widdershins, a thief making her way through Davillon's underbelly with a sharp blade, a sharper wit, and the mystical aid of Olgun, a foreign god with no other worshippers but Widdershins herself. It's not a great life, certainly nothing compared to the one she once had, but it's hers. But now, in the midst of Davillon's political turmoil, an array of hands are once again rising up against her, prepared to tear down all that she's built. The City Guard wants her in prison. Members of her own Guild want her dead. And something horrid, something dark, something ancient is reaching out for her, a past that refuses to let her go. Widdershins and Olgun are going to find answers, and justice, for what happened to her--but only if those who almost destroyed her in those years gone by don't finish the job first.

First came THE CONQUEROR'S SHADOW, now make way for the second darkly humorous adventure- and character-driven Corvis Rebaine novel.

In this dark fantasy, the story follows Corvis Rebaine, known as the Terror of the East, whose past is cloaked in mystery. Clad in enchanted black armor and a skull-like helm, he once carved a bloody path through Imphallion with his brutal companions: Davro, a savage ogre, and Seilloah, a flesh-hungry witch. Armed with a demon-forged axe and aided by his demon slave, Khanda, Rebaine's quest for conquest is shattered when he vanishes, taking the noblewoman Tyannon as a hostage. Seventeen years later, Rebaine and Tyannon lead a quiet life, raising their children away from the chaos of their past. Rebaine has abandoned his dreams of domination, ignoring the rise of a new warlord, Audriss, until a violent incident involving his daughter forces him back into action. He must don the armor of his former self once more to protect his family and the country he once sought to conquer. However, reuniting with his old allies proves challenging; Davro has settled into a peaceful life, Seilloah is reluctant to leave her forest, and Khanda harbors deep resentment toward Rebaine. As he navigates this treacherous path, Rebaine grapples with the darkness within himself—can he embrace the cruelty he once reveled in to save his family?

Vampire: Gehenna, the Final Night is the first act of the Time of Judgment, telling the story of a wide-ranging Armageddon among the supernatural entities of the World of Darkness.
