a brief excerpt from GHOST IN THE SURGE

Now on Chapter 18 of 27, so let’s have two brief excerpts from GHOST IN THE SURGE:

Sicarion had killed so many people over the centuries. Lords and magistrates, magi and occultists, rich and poor, noble and common, men and women and children from every walk of life.

But he had never killed an Emperor before.

Time to rectify that.

Also this:

“Now,” said Jadriga.

She took a deep breath, her stolen body’s lungs filling with air. After two thousand years, she was ready. Two thousand years of torment, of study, of constant struggle and experimentation and fighting. Two thousand years spent acquiring the most profound knowledge of sorcery and the netherworld ever collected upon this world, knowledge that surpassed the Great Necromancers of Maat, or the Imperial Magisterium during its height in the Fourth Empire.

Knowledge that she could, at last, put to use.
