For his instruction in thievery, which includes (but is not limited to) lock-picking, knife-fighting, wall-scaling, fall-breaking, lie-weaving, trap-making, and a few minor magics, Kinch Na Shannack owes the Takers Guild a modest amount. Due to his debt, he is now waiting along the ancient woodland road with plans to rob the next person who happens to pass by.
Kinch Na Shannack, though, has chosen the incorrect mark for today.
Galva is a handmaiden of the goddess of death, a knight, and a survivor of the horrific goblin wars. She is looking for her queen, who has vanished since giants destroyed a far-off northern city.
Having failed in his heist and been fortunate enough to survive, Kinch now finds himself embroiled in Galva's destiny. Thief and knight are forced on an epic trip where goblins thirst for human flesh, krakens prowl in dark waterways, and honor is a luxury few can afford by common adversaries and uncommon dangers.
