Theradane, a city of deep magic, ruled by a council of eternally feuding wizards. Theradane, a city of opportunity, where bold dreamers brave the fallout from the wizard wars to make their living. Theradane, a city of sanctuary, where wanted criminals from all over the world can pay a fortune to secure a safe place for their retirement.
Amarelle Parathis, the Duchess Unseen, one of the greatest thieves in history, was surviving such a retirement until she accidentally offended the powerful sorceress Ivovandas.

Amarelle and her friends will need every minute of it...
