Dagon has murdered and stolen with them, and learned how to use his powers under the tutelage of his master who has the same powers, with an uncanny luck and skill. But his luck ran out when the Imperials attacked, leaving him alone and with a thirst for revenge and an unusual accomplice named Alex. Traveling the countryside, Dagon searches for a purpose with Alex, and a hope for revenge.
