A STORY OF LUCK AND POWER IN A WORLD OF MAGIC, MURDER, AND INTRIGUE.
After a terrifying encounter with the Emerald Queen's army, Roo Avery is finally free to pursue his own goals. His ultimate goal is to rise to the position of one of Midkemia's wealthiest and most influential merchants.
Nothing, however, can adequately prepare him for the perils of the new life he has chosen, where paying back a loan may be as lethal as a dagger in the dark. Betrayal is never far away as Roo fights to establish his financial empire since even those closest to him are suspicious. He will benefit much from his innate cleverness, but he will quickly learn that success is not always easy to achieve.
And even as Roo strives to accomplish his objective, the remembrance of the far-off forces of evil is never far from his thoughts. Because the battle with the Emerald Queen is far from over and will inevitably come to a head, his newly acquired money and power will be under severe danger.
