Matti would prefer never to see her vindictive dwarven aunt ever again. All she wants is to find her missing parents. But her aunt is extorting the elven assassin, Sarrlevi. That would be problematic on its own, but he's become Matti's biggest ally and the man-the elf-she's falling in love with. To save her family, Matti must find a way to help Sarrlevi before he strikes the most devastating blow of all.
