Summary
Single-minded Dawes Mercar has known one thing from a very young age - the Venatori must die.
Minrathous is his home, and Minrathous hates him. Sometimes he thinks he hates it too. When a job with the Shadow Dragons goes so well (or so sideways, depending who you ask) that Dawes is asked to take some time away from the city, he never expected it would lead to a new purpose. And he never expected that purpose would arrive in the form of an optimistic, red-headed, freckled dwarf from Ferelden.

Summary
Dawes 'Rook' Mercar has long accepted that his life would be a grueling and bloody-knuckled fistfight. He dreams of a new Imperium, of slavery abolished, of the Venatori eradicated; but his blind vengeance for the murder of his mother muddies the waters of his intentions.
A chance meeting six months ago delivered him Scout Lace Harding, and impossibly, a reminder that goodness can still be found in some hearts. While he works through the brambles of his own mind, he asks her, selfishly, to wait for him.
In the throes of the Sixth Blight, his traitorous heart has other plans.
