Synopsis
Aoth Fezim and his mercenary company have restored their tarnished reputation and attracted new recruits to their depleted ranks, but too many griffon mounts were killed in the battles in Thay and Chessenta: if the Brotherhood of the Griffon is to be more than a name, new mounts must be found. As it happens, the masked witches of Rashemen have griffons available to a worthy few who can slay the undead committing atrocities throughout the land. Aoth volunteers his band, as do other companies in the market for the fighting beasts, but things are not as they seem. Battles between rival sellswords, berserkers and aerial skyships punctuate a tale set in a barbaric land of oracles, nature spirits and talking animals. The fourth Brotherhood of the Griffon novel.
