Lords of Prey
(Click for large version)
"He'll bring you mead, he'll bring you beer, a smiling
grin from ear to ear, he's served us all from year to year, we call him Smiling
Jim."
James Hyal is broken man, a refugee from the destruction of
Theramore, and survivor of a horrific massacre a decade before that. He's lost
his family, his home, and now, his city.
Captain Lukas joined the Guard to dispense justice, not to resettle
refugees. But there's something about James Hyal that catches his attention. And
the more Lukas talks to him, the more he's convinced that his words are more
than just the the ravings of a madman. Before Theramore, before the attack that
took his family, there's something else. A secret that goes back to the Second
War.
But James wasn't involved in the Second War... was he? He's only ever been
a bartender... hasn't he? All that Lukas knows is that something is
shadowing James, following him, taking the lives of those around him. Slowly,
inexorably, moving in for the kill. James claims it's revenge for a decades-old
crime, but it's a crime nobody knows anything about.
And unless Lukas can unravel the truth, and figure out what happened all
those years ago, he may find himself the next target of... the Wild Hunt.
