The frontier city of Yanmass seems like a perfect place to lie low, until a job solving a nobleโs murder reveals an invading centaur army ready to burn the place to the ground. Of course, Shy could stop that from happening, but doing so would reveal her presence to the former friends who now want her dead. Add in a holier-than-thou patron with the literal blood of angels in her veins, and Shy quickly remembers why she swore off doing good deeds in the first place... From critically acclaimed fantasy author Sam Sykes comes a darkly comic tale of intrigue, assassination, and the perils of friendship, all set in the award-winning world of the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game. The second digital edition maintains the same editorial content as the previous edition, but includes a sample chapter of a new novel, GodsrainโA Pathfinder Novel, and updated back matter.
