Zyntael is the only one taken during a village raid by fearsome warrior women. Claimed as a daughter by their infamous matriarch, she is trained to hunt, to fight, and to kill—all for a dire purpose, which remains ever out of her grasp.
After brutal hardship and bitter loss, now is the time for victory. But for Zyntael Fairwinter, her Vulkari sisters, and the Bare-Skins they call allies, it is a victory that will come at a price.
Together with her closest allies, Zyntael embarks on a journey to travel beyond the mysterious “Mortuary-City” to cut off the source of the Merchant Combine’s Necromancy. But between dangerous arcane rituals, pirate attacks, bar fights, and battles, death lurks at every turn.
