The Underworld rules the city of Veldaren. Thieves, smugglers, assassins… they fear only one man.
Thren Felhorn is the greatest assassin of his time. All the thieves’ guilds of the city are under his unflinching control. If he has his way, death will soon spill out from the shadows and into the streets.
Aaron is Thren’s son, trained to be heir to his father’s criminal empire. He’s cold, ruthless - everything an assassin should be. But when Aaron risks his life to protect a priest’s daughter from his own guild, he glimpses a world beyond piston, daggers, and the iron rule of his father.

Veldaren’s only hope is in the Watcher, but Haern is no longer there. He travels west with his father, Thren Felhorn, whose own thief guild has been crushed by the might of the encroaching Sun Guild. Their destination: the Stronghold, an ancient bastion of the dark paladins of Karak.
Together, Haern hopes to discover a shred of something good within his father. But as much as Haern tries to change his father, will it be his father who ends up changing him?

Fear comes in the hands of prophets….
Upon returning to his beloved city of Veldaren, Haern the Watcher finds nothing but chaos.

Through an artifact given to him by Luther, the legendary Thren Felhorn, broken, guileless, and rejected by his own son, holds the fate of the entire city in his hands.
Unless Haern can stop his father, Thren will at last have the legacy of fire and destruction he has always desired. Father or son; some choices must be made in blood.
