From inside front cover blurb: "Springtime in Styria. And that means war. There have been nineteen years of blood. The ruthless Grand Duke Orso is locked in a vicious struggle with the squabbling League of Eight, and between them they have bled the land white. War may be hell, but for Monza Murcatto, the Snake of Talins, the most feared and famous mercenary in Duke Orso's employ, it's a damn good way of making money too. Her victories have made her popular - a shade too popular for her employers' taste. Betrayed, thrown down a mountain and left for dead. Murcatto's reward is a broken body and a burning hunger for vengeance. Now, whatever the cost, seven men must die. Her allies include Styria' least unreliable drunkard, Styria's most treacherous poisoner, a ,ass murderer obsessed with numbers and a barbarian who just wants to do the right thing. Her enemies number the better half of the nation. And that's all before the most dangerous man in the world is dispatched to hunt her down and finish the job Duke Orso started. Springtime in Styria. And that means revenge".
