Once the center of the world, the grand city of Lygos was destroyed by the Nigh Immortal in his last acts of depravity. Only seen as relevant to unambitious academics and unscrupulous scavengers, it has been reduced to irrelevancy over a millennia of decay. Until now.
Cyril Prodromus was well suited for his world. Too late for the age of impossible warriors, and too soon for the era of godlike archmages, he delighted in the gray and profitable opportunities that filled a decaying empire. Alas, Flavia Meloda has set his life askew. A bonafide genius herself, and one of the few people willing to stand Cyril, her bombastic goals have drawn the two to the ruins of Lygos, the Shrouded City. They might be prepared for a simple job, but they have no idea of what is to come.
