Many years have passed, and the old Duke of Angoulême is no longer there; he was replaced by his distant relative - an imperious and cruel foreigner. Caspar Frey is ordered to hit the road again, the Duke is not joking (the mercenary’s family is left as “guests” in the castle). The task before Kaspar is not an easy one - to bring an artifact from hostile territory, but his team has not been in Lieven for a long time. Without thinking twice, Fry hires city thieves who dream of robbing their owner at the first opportunity.
