They're too busy just trying to survive in the Sulk-struck city of Varr, committing petty violence and pettier crimes to earn their keep in the Unrulys, a motley gang led by Blackhand. <p/>When the Unrulys are commissioned to steal a mysterious item to order, by an equally mysterious patron, the trio are thrust right into the bitter heart of a struggle for the Crown, where every faction is after what they have. <p/>Forced to lie low in a city on lockdown, they will have to work together if they want to save their skins... and maybe just save the Empire as well. <p/>File Under: Fantasy [ Sword-Monks Chicken Foot Dead Men Walking Murdering Bastard ]<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Subterfuge and skulduggery from one of my favourite fantasy writers."<br><b>- RJ Barker</b>, author of<b> </b><i><b> The Bone Ships <p/></b></i>Wit, humor, and a percolating sense of enchantment are signatures of a Stephen Deas novel, and this is Deas at the top of his game.<i><br>- </i><b>Robert V.S.
