shadow is falling over Collegium. Despite the tenuous peace,
Stenwold Maker knows that the Empire will return for his city.
Even as he tries to prepare for the resurgence of the black and
gold, a hidden threat is steadily working against his people.
Ships that sail from Collegium's harbour are being attacked,
sunk by pirates. Some just go missing ...Lulled by the spread
of lies and false promises Stenwold's allies are falling away
from him. He faces betrayal on every side, and the Empire is
just waiting for the first sign of weakness to strike. But the
Empire is not the only power that has its eyes on Collegium.

towards Stenwold's city.
