Esar-Haden, a dark elf rogue, has it easy for once. He's the doorman at Poquelin's Cabaret, the most popular joint in the Ghetto of White Skin, the down-and-out section of Pwyll, one of many subterranean dark elf cities. As usual, his luck doesn't hold. Esar-Haden is approached by what he takes to be the daughter of a powerful house. She says she knows everything about him. That worries him. She says she has a business proposition. That worries him more. But business in Pwyll is never strictly business, there's always house politics to consider. Soon enough Esar-Haden learns too much. Not only does this put his life in danger but the life of his lover, Sol ne. Two houses are at war. Esar-Haden and Sol ne are sucked into the maelstrom. Can there be peace between rival houses in a dark elf city? Does the only path to peace require Sol ne's death? Is Esar-Haden virtuous enough to make the ultimate sacrifice in order to save her? H. Rad Bethlen's beloved dark elf anti-hero returns for another action-packed tale of intrigue and betrayal. Will Esar-Haden escape danger yet again or is this his final adventure?
