An ancient evil preys upon the great port city of Tarnath. Terror grips the citizens as aristocrats and commoners alike disappear into the night's shadows. A foreign nobleman with a personal score against the "Dockside Slayer" offers three condemned men the chance to save their own lives. Before they can stop the Slayer though, a mage with doubts about his own power, a barbarian warrior always in the wrong place and time, and an arrogant cutpurse without caution must first overcome their own differences if they are to prove that there is such a thing as Thieves' Honor.
