Sword of Justice
Fresh from the slaughter of the Emperor's enemies in the north, Ludwig Schwarzhelm, Emperor's Champion, is sent to Averland to oversee the inauguration of a new elector count. Beset by greenskins, and hampered on all sides by the ambitions of rival magnates, he is soon fighting to keep the fractious province together. But the rot runs deep. Powerful forces in Altdorf seem determined to see him fail, and suspicion falls on even his most trusted allies. When all is at its bleakest, the mark of Chaos and the full horror of his task is finally revealed. Alone, doubted by those closest to him, this will be Schwarzhelm's greatest ever challenge, one on which the destiny of the Empire itself depends.

A fantastic read!
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jeff Preston
The novel starts out with a bang and really never lets up. One thing that I feel sets a good novel apart from a great one is having characters that are fallible. Putting it mildly, the characters in this novel are all flawed in one way or another. T here are some fun twists and exceptional descriptions of the setting. Actually, the description of the empire from top to bottom is the best I’ve seen yet; especially the description of Altdorf and the other main cities. Brilliant! Blew my doors off. I’m anxiously awaiting the next book in the series!
absolutely stunning book
