The treasure turns out to be an ancient artifact connected to Greymond’s last king, and when Merrik touches it, he triggers long-dormant magic. Now, three ghosts have taken up permanent residence inside his mind: A cunning, smart-mouthed jester. A master swordsman. And a forceful wizard. At first, Merrik believes he’s going mad, but at times, these troublesome ghosts lend him their powers . . . for good or for bad. Merrik is swept along in a scheme to put a fair-haired pretender on the throne of Greymond, making him the target of powerful enemies across the Scattered Kingdom who prefer the realm as it is. All the while, a new army rises across the mountains . . . and they’re coming. Follow Merrik’s exploits as a reluctant hero in the next sweeping fantasy series by Victor Gischler, the noted author of Ink Mage . It’s perfect for fans of Mark Lawrence, Brent Weeks, and Jay Kristoff. He’s a gambler, womanizer, opportunist, and inebriate . . . and the kingdom’s only chance. Greymond, the Scattered Kingdom, has been without a king for hundreds of years, a place ruled by squabbling barons and dukes. Occasionally, rumors arise: a king of the old blood has returned to claim his throne. These days, such claims are met with groans and eye-rolls. Pretenders abound . . . and are generally ignored. But scheming powers are plotting, machinations that have been in the works for years, and this time . . . Enter Merrik Niles. A thief hired by dangerous people to steal a map, he instead keeps it for himself, hoping to follow it to some mysterious prize.
