Known as the Blade of Tyshalle across Ankhana, Caine has taken the lives of many rulers, commoners, criminals, and heroes. He is the greatest at what he does; he is unwavering and unstoppable.
At home on Earth, Caine is superstar Hari Michaelson, whose exploits in Ankhana draw billions of viewers. However, he is constrained by a strict caste system, forced to control his wrath, and forced to overlook the terrible truth that he murders men on a distant planet for the amusement of his own planet.
Michaelson has now, however, gone too far. Pallas Rill, his estranged wife, has vanished from the Ankhana slums without explanation. He has to face the toughest obstacle of his life to rescue her: a deadly game of cat and mouse with the most cunning rulers of two universes.
