"Morvin Torhold has spent years in solitude, haunted by the death of his wife and son in the Great War. A dwarven inventor, he channels his grief into creating something extraordinary: a unique powder that powers a weapon unlike any ever seen in Levanthria. Just when Morvin resigns himself to a life of lonely obscurity, a charismatic mage appears with a tempting offer. A path to vengeance against the one person he blames for his family's death -- the king himself. All he needs to do is help the mage and his motley crew of outcasts infiltrate the heavily-guarded royal base deep within Zorubia. The goal? Nothing short of regicide. As Morvin grapples with the morality of assassinating a ruler, he must also navigate the complexities of working with a group of societal misfits. Will they become Levanthria's most wanted heroes or its most notorious criminals?" --
