Waiting on Wednesday 10/18/23
Waiting On Wednesday” is a weekly meme that first originated at Breaking the Spine but has since linked up with “Can’t Wait Wednesday” at Wishful Endings now that the original creator is unable to host it anymore. Either way, this fun feature is a chance to showcase the upcoming releases that we can’t wait to get our hands on!

The Trials of Empire by Richard Swan (February 6, 2024 by Orbit)
“The third novel in an epic fantasy trilogy, which follows the tale of Sir Konrad Vonvalt, an Emperor’s Justice – a detective, judge and executioner all in one.
THE TIME OF JUDGEMENT IS AT HAND
The Empire of the Wolf is on its knees, but there’s life in the great beast yet.
To save it, Sir Konrad Vonvalt and Helena must look beyond its borders for allies – to the wolfmen of the southern plains, and the pagan clans in the north. But old grievances run deep, and both factions would benefit from the fall of Sova.
Even these allies might not be enough. Their enemy, the zealot Bartholomew Claver, wields infernal powers bestowed on him by a mysterious demonic patron. If Vonvalt and Helena are to stand against him, they will need friends on both sides of the mortal plane—but such allegiances carry a heavy price.
As the battlelines are drawn in both Sova and the afterlife, the final reckoning draws close. Here, at the beating heart of the Empire, the two-headed wolf will be reborn in a blaze of justice . . . or crushed beneath the shadow of tyranny.”

I don’t recognize the authors name. Have you reviewed the previous 2 books?

Ha! I just searched your site and saw the previous reviews. 5stars both!
Do you remember, is there anything I’d find morally objectionable in the books you’ve read so far, the usual dnf reason, as it were?

Yes, I am loving this series! 5 stars to the first two books and hopefully the author can stick the landing with book three and make it a hat trick.
As for morally objectionable content, not any of the central characters as I can recall, but I can’t be 100%. And I’m pretty sure there may have been a side character or a random character mentioned in passing.
