Captain Severen Gris of the Spirelight International Police set out into the Scnlogmire mountain ranges, to put down one more local upstart bandit gang. That was before he learned a terrible secret, of corruption within the Spirelight Empire itself, threatening the entire countryside. Now an outlaw among his own people, Severen must strike an uneasy alliance against the very Theocracy he's sworn to serve, with his sworn enemy, the bandit chief Rorkaster. Nothing is what it seems, in this fast, vicious sword-and-sorcery tale of frontier action and high intrigue.
