Publisher's Synopsis
When the elven lords, preachers and merchants of Cryssigens need wrongs righted without clues, they look for the stealthic Feldspar to solve their problems. But the legend without a face is hard to find: and when Feldspar takes a commission from the most famous, and beautiful, priestess in the city, he finds problems of his own piling up. In 2002 ADR, the Empire of Argens is still reeling from the usurpation of its centuries-old throne by a landless adventurer. In the North Mark, a hotbed of disloyalty even in the old days and now on a trip-wire for revolt, Feldspar's exploits not only take him to the ancient city below, he also must reinvent himself and is forced to choose between Hope and safety.
