After a long winter devoid of any rogue-for-hire contracts, Riyria is offered a job to save a man who is being targeted for death. The money is good, but the job is in Rochelle: an old-world city of narrow streets filled with fog and ancient legends—a place that nearly killed the pair of thieves on their first visit. Nothing, they had vowed, could make them go back. That’s what they thought. Then they learn the man being hunted, is Leopold Hargrave, and the job offer comes from his wife, Genny. Because Royce has too few people he respects and he can't afford to let one die, they grudgingly relent. Ride once more with Royce and Hadrian back into the shadows and mist on their most infamous mission where they'll face their greatest challenge. Travel with them to Blythin Castle.
