Set seven years after the events of The Weapon Takers Saga and six years before Heirs of War, this interquel short story links the two epic fantasy series together.

Since the Isharite Wars, Jesper has earned a living and seen the world, working as a mercenary. Along with the grizzled warrior, Herin, and the enigmatic sorcerer, Rimmon, they've done some shady work.

But they've never been asked to kill anyone before. And this job comes from a king.
