Twil. The highest bastion of knowledge in the empire. A city under a curse. Twil's prestige and mystique attract an odd collection of characters, not the least of which is the one who crash-landed in the harbor during the worst storm anyone could remember. Sarah Travesse is known closer to Starfall as one of the greatest pirates the world has ever seen. Here on the edge of the known world, however, she has just the right amount of anonymity to hide away for a bit and rebuild her image after she lost her ship. From almost her first day, however, she is beset by trouble. A man murders civilians at random using an unknown power. A spirit posing as an advocate hunts her, claiming to have messages from friends. An old curse resurfaces, threatening to take her life and those around her. With the city against her, Sarah must confront her inner demons and outer assailants as the world defies her expectations and shifts under her. With a pinch of luck and a blessing from a god, she might survive it, and with the right amount of finesse, she'll reclaim her former glory into the bargain.
