- Nobody cheats death. A warrior haunted by his past, Salim Ghadafar serves as
a problem-solver for a church he hates, bound by the goddess of death to hunt
down those who would rob her of her due. Such is the case in the desert nation
of Thuvia, where a powerful merchant on the verge of achieving eternal youth via
a magical elixir is mysteriously murdered, his soul kidnapped somewhere along
its path to the afterlife. The only clue is a magical ransom note, offering to
trade the merchant’s successful resurrection for his dose of the fabled
potion. But who would have the power to steal a soul from the boneyard of Death
herself? Enter Salim, whose keen mind and contacts throughout the multiverse
should make solving this mystery a cinch. There's only one problem: The
investigation is being financed by Neila Anvanory, the dead merchant''s stubborn
and aristocratic daughter. And she wants to go with him. Along with his
uninvited passenger, Salim must unravel a web of intrigue that will lead them
far from the blistering sands of Thuvia on a grand tour of the Outer Planes,
where devils and angels rub shoulders with fey lords and mechanical men, and
nothing is as it seems...
