Boris Dragonheart knows exactly what he's meant to do with his life: follow in his father's footsteps, climb the ranks of the Cedrelian Royal Guard, and devote himself to the service of his beloved city.

But when the robbery of a wealthy elven couple takes a disturbing turn, Boris begins to uncover something dark lurking beneath the surface of Cedrela. The more suspicious he grows of the Guard's involvement, the harder it becomes to ignore the truth.

Unsure who to trust, Boris forges an uneasy alliance with the very thief he was originally dispatched to arrest - a chaotic elf of indiscriminate gender and even less discriminate morality.
