Death's plot continues apace in this sequel to the best-selling novel Death's Reckoning.

Two years have passed since the siege of Vicrum. Micol leads an ever-growing number of Wolves in a campaign across the Jabari Protectorate, hunting the elusive Jian Jabari and overthrowing the governments of every city, town, and village they come across. But when Micol becomes aware of the true depth of the plans of those he serves ? and the part he is to play in them ? he is forced to decide whether he will be a pawn in someone else's game, or take control and become a player himself.

With Commander Fevre's help, Tarana has waged a successful war against the Synod of Mirao, home of the Aspect of Death. With one enemy vanquished, they turn to face a growing threat of conquest by the horde known as the Wolves. A fateful meeting with a potential ally finds Tarana embroiling herself in a fight for a foreign people, who may be more treacherous than they seem.

Sister Tira served multiple Aspects of Death faithfully. Her service has cost her much, including her freedom. When the priests who guard Sister Tira are captured after the fall of the Synod of Mirao, she finds herself in a position to escape their clutches for the first time in a decade. The Aspect of Death took her hands and tongue for fear that she might share the knowledge she possesses. Knowledge that ? given the new wars waged by the mortal aspects ? has suddenly become vital.

Plaguebringer's Requiem continues the story of The Mortal Aspects. It is the second book in the series, and contains similar motifs of moral complexity and action-driven storytelling. Join these mortals as they wield god-like power in a world where even the noblest intentions can lead to destruction.
