About the book: year / One unrestrained impulse and the monolith of familiar life collapses, scattering fragments around itself. The warmth of the hearth and native walls give way to cold winds and the mercenary’s knocked-down boots, and everything he had is left far behind. But is everything accurate? A dwarf named Dalur is alone, but loneliness is his pipe dream and his worst nightmare. He and a couple of other mercenaries took on the order to help the guards find the missing people. The deep northern forests do not like strangers and keep many dark secrets. Much more than the mercenaries would like to know.
