Hunter Black is dying.
Once the most feared -- and sought after -- killer-for-hire in the Known World, now he is a dead man walking. A betrayal and an arrest led to incarceration in a terrible prison-mine, where he contracted an incurable wasting disease.
Carrying a magic sword that can extended his life by spilling betrayer’s blood, Hunter scours the Known World for the identities -- and locations -- of those who betrayed him.
All he wants is to live long enough to get his revenge.
