For years, Tracker's life has had two facets: Hunting spellsters and entertaining strangers in his bed. Few doubt he's good at both, although only one is considered acceptable amongst the King's Hounds. His trip to Toptower should be just another task in an endless string of routine.
Take down any dangerous spellster he finds and send the timid ones to Demarn's tower prison.
It is a role he was born to play. A role that grows ever weary.
But there's something off about the spellsters he's encountering. The typical people he finds are not this powerful or anywhere near as lethal to a man immune to magic.
It's as if something, or someone, is releasing them with an eye to weaken an already harried kingdom. To what end, he cannot be certain. But the dangers of magic running unchecked litters history.
He must uncover the truth, but with all leads pointing one way, how will he be able to uphold the code of the King's Hounds once he finds it?
