The Merc-Mage of Ziammotienth

Complications: the things in life that make you late, make you distracted, and Kaylin's world, make you dead. Kaylin—mage and mercenary, thief, and friend. Her policy is to avoid getting caught up in complications, but what happens when they find her? She'd better hope that she has some stout mates to help pick up the slack, that's what. Kaylin does have a good crew, but they are going to be put to the test when it is time to go back into the Mountain. Yes, the Mountain that has loomed so large in her mind, yet has remained out of reach. Now, complications or not, she is going back in to seek something even more precious than gold. Yet, there are rumblings behind city walls, and those rumblings may draw her back to the place that once drove her out. Again, complications. The sinister and insidious schemes of man and dwarf begin to creep in. Some calling her name … Can Kaylin find a way to navigate the multiplying treacheries? Or will the vagaries of the human heart hold sway over the fates of thousands?
