“Winning the war is great, but when it comes time to split up the spoils among the victors — clans of nobles rotten with pride and ambition — the coup de grâce given to the enemy becomes nothing but an appetizer. It’s enough to make you miss the good old battlefield, codified by the art of war. When we draw knives now, it’s within the family. And it so happens that knives are just my thing…” Benvenuto is a hitman, without a doubt the best in all of the Ciudalia Empire.

1941. Almost all of Europe is under the Nazis’ heel. Great Britain continues to hold out, but the situation worsens with every passing day. And in North Africa, gateway to the Middle East and its immense oil reserves, Rommel now threatens Egypt, keystone of the British defenses. In those desperate times, three men (David Stirling, Blair Mayne and “Jock” Lewes), three unconventional officers, band together to create a small, elite unit that will become a military legend: the SAS.

La Isabela
Jakob Kayne and his brother Samuel are the last of the Hippocrats. Sworn to treat those in need (and those who are deemed worthy), the two Healer-Alchemists have been tracked across the Archipelagos by manifold enemies, including the Inquisition. On his latest mission, Jakob, a formidable Memory-Eater whose face none can recall, is confronted by an obstacle as unexpected as it is persistent: feelings for his latest patient, Victoria Marcheda, amid the fiery destruction of the city of La Isabela.
