A mysterious 'great forgetting' has befallen the Corcorid Empire. For once powerful spellcallers and lords, it means lost cities, missing armies, and the waning of the secrets of magica. For Ashton Arrowmask—pirate, jewel thief, and all-around ne’er-do-well—it means another ridiculously self-destructive chance to make some coin.
To root out the mystery in the savage northern forests called the Shrouded Vast, Arrowmask assembles his notion of a crack team. A circus acrobat obsessed with Corcorid fashion fads. A deposed warlord slumming as a dominatrix. A spellcaller with the ambition of sculpting mountains with a thought. A grim barbarian who destroyed her village in order to save it. Sometimes in each other's arms, sometimes at each other's throats, they join forces and fates.
Will their peculiar talents—or, at least, Arrowmask’s blind luck—be enough to survive a journey through the criminal underworld, plague-ravaged cities, and haunted forests? Or will they, too, become forgotten victims of the nameless force lurking in the Shrouded Vast?
