Lukitt Bachmann is waiting in his Lanterne des Mortes, a Tower of the Dead, in the middle of a cemetery.
He's had a complicated life: son of a Herrnhuter Brother thrown out of his sect; help-meet to a pastor; been a sailor, fisherman, boar-hunter, student and lecturer. Has explored the varied histories of the Knights Teutonic and the bone-chapels their descendants left behind them.
He has also become an assassin and a murderer, learned the terrible highs and lows of friendships made and lost, and is now awaiting his last remaining friend to set him free.
A vivid historical adventure you'll not have read the like of before.
