No good deed goes unpunished . . . When Artelo Sterling rode forth to rescue Argentia Dasani from the mad wizard Mouradian, he knew he would face grave danger on the Isle of Elsmywr. He never imagined he was leaving an even greater danger behind him. Returning home to find his daughter Aura kidnapped, the knight seeks aid from the Crown and her Archamagus. They discover that Aura's captor is a demoness loosed from the Fel Pits. It has plans for the child it has taken-plans that Aura likely will not survive. Desperate, Artelo demands Argentia's help. She has fought demons before. She had killed demons before. She is the best tracker he knows. But the bounty huntress, burned and broken by her ordeal on Elsmywr, is in no condition to help anyone. She will need to find herself before she can find Artelo's daughter, and there may not be time for that...
