Synopsis
Driwna Marghoster, a soldier for the powerful merchant guild known as the Post, is defending her trade caravan from a vicious bandit attack when she discovers a dead body hidden in one of her wagons. Born of the powerful but elusive Oskoro people, the body is a rare and priceless find, the centre of a tragic tale and the key to a larger mystery. As she investigates who the body was meant for, Driwna finds herself on a path of deceit and corruption that could bring down a kingdom, and that leads to an evil more powerful than she can imagine.
