Publisher's Synopsis
In a city on the verge of collapse, impulsive street-fighter Ford Barlow finds himself in just as much turmoil. Not only is he juggling his own problems, but his slippery rogue friend Elle is embroiled in a string of high-profile assassinations. Mercenary work for a mage meant to distance him from his troubles only highlights his selfish ways and his misunderstanding of the many facets of love, and drives him back into a crumbling world of fire, flood and betrayal.
