Some dead men tell tales. Some little girls have tails.Daughter of the Lord of Thieves, Sette Frummagem is on a mission, and she'll lie, cheat, and steal to make sure it's a success (she'll lie, cheat, and steal anyway). Condemned to aid her in her rotten endeavor is a rotten corpse who seems oddly talented with the supernatural, and oddly not lying motionless in the dirt.But the road is long, fraught with murderous villains, unimaginable beasts, and the indefatigable reaches of the law. On this quest, no one is what they seem; never trust a thief, and never trust anyone who won't let you look into his eyes.
