Sanctuary is a city shaped by ages of heroes and villains. In her lifetime, she has weathered catastrophes and welcomed prosperity. She has seen fire, storm, plague, invasion, madness, and gods at war. Yet her present-day citizens have no time for memories for they are too busy trying to survive. Only Lord Molin Torchholder, the ancient and wise architect of the city&’s glory, knows the whole truth about Sanctuary. But when an attempt on his life leaves him fighting to keep death at bay, he must find an heir for all his knowledge of the city&’s history.
