Seth’s mission seemed tough enough—until he had to bring him along.
Seth, a brilliant but brooding Curator for Arcanum College, excels at uncovering ancient relics. But when an arcanist murders a scholar and flees into the desert, Seth’s latest assignment turns into a brutal manhunt. His superiors trust him to get the job done—perhaps too much.
To track his quarry, Seth must partner with Raider: a grinning rogue whose charm hides illegal arcane enhancements and an undoubtedly shady past. Trusting Raider is a risk Seth can’t afford—but resisting him? Even harder.
The scorching desert isn’t the only danger. As secrets unravel and their uneasy alliance deepens, Seth realizes the manhunt might cost him more than his reputation. Will he capture the killer—or lose himself along the way?
