Ein Stein im Nebel

(from the back of the book)
While the eyes of the empress and her court are directed to Almada and the conflict on the Yaquir, another threat grows - unnoticed - in the northwest of the kingdom.
Paralyzing uncertainty dominates much of the Greifenmark and is discharged in the spring of 1034 BF in turmoil. The heroes are drawn into a web of ancient oaths and new feuds. Old nobility, war lords of the Wildermark, Orcish collaborators and not least a darker shade from the Finsterkamm vie for power - and there's no sign who will prevail. What started as a courtly intrigue, extends now to bloody battles that threaten not only to devour Lichthag but the Markgrave country.
