A set of down-at-heel treasure hunters and incorrigible rogues. Egil can be a priest, pleased to deliver moral correction with his couple of massive hammers. Nix can be a sneak-thief; there is no lock he cannot open up, no serving young lady he cannot charm. Between them, they always have one attention for an opportunity to make money – the other eyesight, of course, is usually around the nearest leave. Only this time around the treasure they’ve thieved is an important relic of the most sinister and ancient family, who’ll stop at nothing at all to get their bloody revenge.
