Tallah Amni has been called many things – bane of the Empire, crazed pyromancer, murderer. Rumours would even call her dead.

At the end of a harrowing misadventure, Tallah would love nothing more than a winter spent licking her wounds in relative peace, hidden away behind the anonymity of her demise and the safety of Valen’s city walls.

A simple goal, except that someone may have betrayed her presence to the Empire’s agents stationed in the city.

When the noose tightens, an old teacher’s offer to join him on a journey to an ancient underground city may solve all her problems.

Get there. Kill some spiders. Maybe kick a goddess in the teeth. Easy!

What could go wrong?
