Nonetheless, Elbay is a city of tradition, and tradition calls for Mortedants to attend a death.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut when Irody reads the corpse of a low-level record-keeper, he’s dragged into a conspiracy that will see someone close to him murdered and Irody framed for the crime, the eyes of the city’s guilds, nobles and villains all fixed on him. With only days to prove his innocence before he is executed, Irody is forced to work with unlikely and unwanted allies: a street urchin and a hulking, inhuman mercenary from the sea people’s city of Oknusoka.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith danger and death lurking around every corner, and trust a luxury, Irody is running out of time.
