When Shane zem'Arta fails to capture escaped con artist Daeven Kritcher, his reputation is put on the line. The Freeland spire lords he works for do not forgive easily. Leaving his crew behind, he chases Kritcher up the coast of Palimar to the seaside city of Estbye. Shane reunites with Jon Therman, a smuggler with his own dubious agenda. Their goals align, but Shane's target is no slouch. With the help of Jon's clever daughter, Ella, Shane closes in on Kritcher. But things never seem to go Shane's way, especially in this city.
