Mierel of the Sote, a career sellsword, joins his partner, rising champion Ayricalt of the Isles, on a mysterious hunt in a foreign land. Details are scant, and the situation is unquestionably dangerous, but Ayricalt seems steadfastly determined. What secrets await them in the rebellious republics of the Bluebird Isles? And what secrets is their client, the strange Queen of the Ellusenese, withholding? Joined by a purported witch, who regrets little more than meeting them, our heroes navigate this politically sensitive maze with a tactless singlemindedness.
