When you owe money to the biggest criminal in town, you're gonna need to step your thieving game up a notch…
Service at the Red Rooster Inn leaves much to be desired.
The innkeeper, Darin, has a scowl for every new face. The homebrewed ale seems to grow less palatable with each new batch. The barmaid, Evie, only seems to work when wealthy young men are around, and the old witch Seraphina ensures that's not too often. As for Big Tom, well, everyone learns right quick to stay on the bouncer’s good side. But there’s a reason everyone at the Red Rooster crew bad is at their job. By night, they’re the best team of con artists in the Old Queendom.
When a stranger shows up offering a hefty sum to steal a shipment of imperial dreamwine, Darin knows he should refuse. But thanks to a string of bad luck, he owes money to the Gray Dame, the local crime boss. The pay-out from this job will get him square and then some. It might leave enough to explore the promises of power that silver whispers to him. Of course, they’ll have to steal the dreamwine first. It’s the most precious substance in the Old Queendom. Never duplicated, never stolen.
But there’s a first time for everything.
