Like its predecessor, the books were originally published in Dutch and an English translation is available in an ebook-only edition.

3Marak Fourfingers is no more. But the information recorded in his Bequeathed Narratives presents the ruthless GodEmperor of the bleak continent of Kadish with a unique opportunity. Marak's writings could give him access to the rune that will grant omnipotence, the Eighth Rune, and then the God-Emperor would be invincible. A young rune priest and a sword master are sent to Carolia to steal the book – a near impossible task. At the same time Serina, a young Viguru priestess from Carolia, is taken captive by rune priests. She will face a time of cruelty and misery in the terrible Home of the Sisterhood, and a humiliating introduction to the God-Emperor.
