All in a day's work.... When Argentia Dasani embarks on a quest to fulfill her debt to the Archamagus of Teranor by rescuing the Crown's kidnapped daughter, the bounty huntress is more concerned with the ghosts of her past than the dangers of her present task. When she is suddenly caught in the tangles of a catastrophic Prophecy, Argentia must pit her blade, her daring, and her newfound friends--two untried knights, a wandering adventurer of questionable honor, and an intrepid meerkat with a nose for trouble--against all odds in a race across the Crowndom not only to rescue the Princess, but to forestall the return of the demons. As all hope of success wanes, Argentia takes a desperate gamble that will force her to confront her past even as she seeks to save the future by enlisting the aid of the very fiend that would see the Shadow Gate reopened, and the Realm of Acrevast destroyed.
