作品简介

穆拉盖什将军从未想过，她会在退休之后接受莎拉的委托，前往全世界最可怕的沃特娅斯坦调查一件失踪案。沃特娅曾是掌管战争的圣主，她驱使手下的恐怖哨兵，用死亡与暴力血洗全世界。如今，神祇已死，城市荒废，在新的统治者眼中，这座曾鼎盛一时的首都只不过是充满野蛮叛乱的不毛之地。虽然心不甘情不愿，但穆拉盖什知道，已经成为首相的莎拉正面临腹背受敌的困境，唯一能信任的人只有她。但尽管如此，这件案子还是比想象中更棘手，女外交官乔卓里失踪前正在调查某种神秘的金属，而后突然精神失常，在房内画了许多沃特娅哨兵的虐杀场景。与此同时，城内陆续传出惨绝人寰的灭门血案，犯人的手法与画中的沃特娅哨兵如出一辙，更有目击者看到疑似乔卓里的女人出现在犯罪现场…… 调查得越深入，穆拉盖什不禁开始怀疑，沃特娅创造的死后世界“剑刃之城”并未真正消失，待时机成熟，成千上万的嗜血灵魂就会倾巢而出杀光所有的人。但更让她辗转难眠的是，剑刃之城一直在召唤着她，和她埋藏在黑暗中的血腥往事…… 【原版简介】 A generation ago, the city of Voortyashtan was the stronghold of the god of war and death, the birthplace of fearsome supernatural sentinels who killed and subjugated millions. Now, the city’s god is dead. The city itself lies in ruins. And to its new military occupiers, the once-powerful capital is a wasteland of sectarian violence and bloody uprisings. So it makes perfect sense that General Turyin Mulaghesh — foul-mouthed hero of the battle of Bulikov, rumored war criminal, ally of an embattled Prime Minister — has been exiled there to count down the days until she can draw her pension and be forgotten. At least, it makes the perfect cover story. The truth is that the general has been pressed into service one last time, dispatched to investigate a discovery. For while the city’s god is most certainly dead, something is awakening in Voortyashtan. And someone is determined to make the world tremble at the the city’s awful power again.
