The assassin Shadrak the Unseen is down on his luck.
He’d have to be to take a job from a wizard.
To make matters worse, the ring he’s commissioned to procure is stolen by an invisible thief, whose footprints lead to the city of Jeridium—where Shadrak is still wanted for an ages-old crime.
Soon enough, he learns that rival wizards will do anything to possess the ring, despite the sinister rumors that surround its creation.
