Shoki shook his head. “I have much to do here. The realm needs me. Both Reratish and Zakhanan forces continue to pour through the borders. Even the Kur’shi are beginning to stir across the great ocean. I—”
The djinn shook his head. “Boy, you and I have an obligation to fulfill.”
Shoki was shaking his head when the djinn reached out and grabbed his hand. He opened his jaw to object. A deluge of icy water ran through his veins. Feeling his breath slowing, Shoki turned his head around, wanting to cry out to the Sultan’s Body to come to his aid.
Darkness fell upon him.

A bumbling city guard. A ghastly murder. Terror in the Sultan's Realm.
A grisly crime and a grieving widow plunge Shoki, a lowly city guard—who never wanted the job (thanks mother and father) and is described by his superiors, in their kinder moments, as blundering—into an investigation that involves no less than one who claimed himself a Sultan of the Realm.
Shoki is sure he’s got it right. He knows who the killer is.
But does he have the courage to defy his commanders, buck a system that hasn’t the least leeway for independent initiative, and bring a killer to justice?
