Dun-Cadal has been drinking his life away for years.

Viola is a young historian looking for the last Emperor's sword, and her search not only brings her to Dun-Cadal, it's also going to embroil them both in a series of assassinations. Because Dun-Cadal's turncoat friends are being murdered, one by one... by someone who kills in the unmistakable style of an Imperial assassin...
