The sequel to Hugo Award Winner Tim Pratt’s Liar’s Isle! For charming con guy Rodrick and his speaking sword Hrym, existence is all about taking what you can and obtaining away clean. But when the set are arrested in the crusader nation of Lastwall, Rodrick faces instant execution, with Hrym spending the rest of eternity captured in an enchanted scabbard. Their just hope lies in a secret authorities program where captured career bad guys are teamed up and delivered on suicide missions too sensitive for regular soldiers. Trapped between almost certain death and actual certain death, both join forces using a team of rogues and scoundrels, ready to serve their year-long tenure as greatest they can. However not everyone within their party is exactly what they seem, and a loss of life sentence may only be the beginning of the friends’ problems.
