Fresh from a bitter, bloody victory, Ferl returns to Farrow’s Hold at the head of his newly sanctioned mercenary company. Granted, it was composed of bonded criminals, broken old veterans, and former slaves with nowhere to go, but they were numerous and could legally operate within the borders of Jecusta, granting Ferl both protection and the power to finally have his vengeance.
His first target is Lissandra the Black, the scourge of the Eastern Sweeps. She did not so much as kill her enemies as make the memories of their torturous deaths linger in the dreams of those around her. In retrospect, Ferl shouldn’t have stolen from her. But, in his defense, she deserved that and worse.
As he schemes for a way to find her, Ferl realizes that he’d made a black deal that could cost him his power, if not his life. His list of enemies would grow long before he finds a way to shorten it.
