When a group of mysterious merchants arrives bearing gifts and hoping to strike a trade agreement, Reswen has his supicions. Before it’s too late, he must discover the truth behind the visitors’ smiles, and allies himself with a beautiful courtesan-spy and a wayward wizard ... whose rusty spells may be Niau’s only defense against the sinister sorcery of the all-powerful Eastern Lords.   Awakened!
