Myrgen the Grey has a real problem on his hands. The queen's best friend has been kidnapped, along with the son of the head of the king's guard. There is an assassin running around the palace with a contract on the king's life, and the prince, Alexander, knows her. If Myrgen doesn't work fast, someone rather dangerous is going to realize he's behind it all!

The road to redemption is paved in blood.
