Years ago, a stranger came to Carraig an Bhun, a little town on the edge of the Southern Territories. The locals eventually came to see this “blow-in,” Meabh of Cklonia, as one of their own. Now, Meabh has taken over as proprietor of The Lough Inn, finding a semblance of peace after a lifetime of adventuring…however, the proposed opening of a branch of the Adventurers’ Guild risks dragging her past into the present. What would the townsfolk do if they discovered their beloved barkeep was once part of a ruthless band of rogue sell-swords masquerading as noble heroes? It’s a tragic tale of loss and redemption that asks what’s left behind long after the bodies are buried and When the Blood Has Dried.
For five years, Meabh of Cklonia has lived a lie among the people of Carraig an Bhun…abandoning the way of violence and trying to atone for the innocent blood on her hands. Now, as the sun sets on the Lough Inn, she draws her sword once more, and the people who accepted her as one of their own are about to learn the harsh truth.
