Outsider; a mixed heritage bounty hunter, finds himself caught in the middle of a much bigger plot between two ruling rival forces: the Guard and the Warriors, when he captures a wanted thief named Thom who stole a magic dagger from them. Together they must fight to survive not only the rival factions, a mysterious supernatural force, and a tribe of orcs, but the harsh weather of the wild northern tundra; all the while battling enemies both outside and within.
