Synopsis
Gant and Shale became part of Kailen's Twenty, a band of mercenaries who gave no quarter and shook the pillars of the world through cunning, chemical brews and cold steel; whoever met their price won. Now their glory days are behind them and they are scattered to the wind. Kailen, their genius leader, is in hiding, and the Twenty are being hunted down and eliminated by an unknown killer. Selby's debut takes an unblinking look at the price people pay for their pasts, at the art of war, and at those who make war their business.
