Publisher's Synopsis
The thief, his lover the harlot, plus the witch and her apprentice.
Jaxon is the disinherited son of an impoverished nobleman. The prostitute Maelleen is his beautiful lover.
The Witch who rules Val d'Ossa and her apprentice Venessta need Jax's skills as a thief, and have taken them both captive to ensure his cooperation.
Jax and Maelleen must navigate the politics of Val d'Ossa's High Noble Houses, where lies and deceit drip from every tongue, seduction is a mere means to an end, and betrayal is the norm.
What is Jax's connection to the ancient figurine they all covet? Can Jax and Maelleen survive the machinations of their betters? If they fail, death will be preferable to the fate that awaits them.
The paths of chaos lead only to damnation.
