There is a good for nothing elf in Freeport. An assassin lurks in the shadows, yet no one knows why. What does the blue-skinned, foul, dirt digger want within the walls of man’s greatest city and Capitol of the Eastern Kingdoms? Who is her target? Even The Council seems to not take the threat seriously. But Kyel wants to know what she is doing within the city’s walls and why she has come here.
