Krut, an exiled northern barbarian, & the sword-wench he knows as Damsel, are a pair of wandering mercenaries struggling to keep their purses full. When a nobleman makes them an offer it seems too good to turn down, but dark sorcery is their only reward. Arrested by the magi's personal guard alongside a half-elf minstrel & a girl who can cast magic though never having been taught a spell in her life, the two of them must pit their steel & cunning against the magi of the fifth & last tower & the dark secret it holds.
