Voici le résumé et la couverture :
House Jhereg, Dragaera's organized crime syndicate, is still hunting Vlad Taltos. There's a big price on his head on Draegara City. Then he hears disturbing news. Aliera--longtime friend, sometime ally--has been arrested by the Empire on a charge of practicing elder sorcery, a capital crime.
It doesn't make sense. Everybody knows Aliera's been dabbling in elder sorcery for ages. Why is the Empire down on her now? Why aren't her powerful friends--Morrolan, Sethra, the Empress Zerika--coming to her rescue? And most to the point, why has she utterly refused to do anything about her own defense?
It would be idiotic of Vlad to jump into this situation. He's a former Jhereg who betrayed the House. He's an Easterner--small, weak, short-lived. He's being searched for by the most remorseless killers in the world. Naturally, that's exactly why he's going to get completely involved...

Extrait :
"Do you think you might ever write something in another era of Dragaera history—for instance a Teckla Republic? And do you have any plans to write anything else in Dragaera that isn’t Vlad or Paarfi?
SKZB: Yes to the first part. I’m open to an idea like that if it happens to hit me. As to the second, yeah, I’ve had a sort of vague notion churning around for a while, and I might start it if it would crystallize. I’m sort of letting my backbrain work on it. Sometimes that works. Sometimes my backbrain just distracts me from, uh, what were we talking about?"
