As any warrior will tell you; even the best swordsman is one bad day away from a corpse. It's a lesson Blademaster Jezzet Vel'urn isn't keen to learn.

But instead of sanctuary all she finds is more enemies from her past.Arbiter Thanquil Darkheart is a witch hunter for the Inquisition on a holy crusade to rid the world of heresy.

He's best known for the killing of several Arbiters and every town in the Wilds has a WANTED poster with his name on it. Thorn knows it's often best to lie low and let the dust settle, but some jobs pay too well to pass up.As their fates converge, Jezzet, Thanquil, and the Black Thorn will need to forge an uneasy alliance in order to face their common enemy.
About the Author
Having served in a hundred different offices as a keyboard monkey, Rob J. Hayes finally decided to follow his life long passion of daydreaming. After writing a small hoard's worth of short stories (many of which can be found on his website), he released his debut trilogy The Ties that Bind in 2013 as an indie publication. He signed a deal with Ragnarok later that year to bring The Ties that Bind to traditional publication, and he recently finished a follow-up series, entitled Best Laid Plans and set in the same world of First Earth. When not writing Rob is usually found card gaming, computer gaming, board gaming, dice gaming, airsoft gaming, or pretending to be a Viking.
