Falca Breks lived by nefarious means - extorting money from downtrodden refugees in the decaying port city of Draica. A street thief without principles, he sets out to steal jewels from beautiful high-born Amala Damarr - and ends up losing his heart to her instead.
But their love enflames the jealousy of the zealot Saphrax - a hulking spiritlifter who imprisons Amala's essence in a crystal mace, as a sacrifice to his strange and hungry god. Falca then must set out on a dangerous quest across treacherous lands and pirate-prowled seas of the Six Kingdoms to free his adored one's captive soul...and to discover his own!
