Uma história sombria de paixões e vingança, esta obra provou ser um dos clássicos mais duradouros da literatura inglesa.

A small faction of Shadari have hired the Mongrel, an infamous mercenary, to aid their fledgling uprising - but with her own shadowy ties to the region, she is a frighteningly volatile ally.
