Timion Black has exhausted his options.

Reckless, despicable, Timion's own band of mercenary men turn against him, leaving their master for dead in a back alley of the harbor city Glammenport. Blind Fate- or cruel Chance- deposits the usurped buccaneer into the hands of altruistic nuns. Under their capable care Timion finds his way back to health- and into their debt. A simple task of repayment quickly becomes more than any swordarm can repay.

Dark magic and clever technology collide, catapulting him to the edge of the world, beyond the mythic Boiling Seas. There he finds the fate of his homeland stands blindly on the edge of disaster as hidden eyes of invasion set their sights on... Glammenport.
