Dante Oganov made a deal with Lincoln — help Dante blackmail Callista into giving him her turf, and Linc gets the ability to get his son, Sam, off the Shelf.
All this while Lincoln tries to hide his affair with Ariella, while Billy tries to hide the fact he’s training with Morgan Stone in Cordis, and Magda tries to hide her ever-growing drinking problem. If the Old Stone Church gang can’t trust each other, who can they trust?
So, what is the blackmail material that could set Sam free? Dante has not yet told anyone but Cantrell, Lincoln’s friend and former lawyer. When Lincoln finds out what must be done, will he go through with it?

After Lincoln’s meeting, he intends to take Billy shopping at the Clearinghaüs to see if they can find Billy a signature weapon, something Billy can train with and master.

Dante Oganov is getting ready to make another run at Callista to take over her criminal holdings in Lumencia. Dante, with help from Lincoln’s friend and former lawyer Dillon Cantrell, set up a bounty to test Lincoln. Lincoln had to defeat a swarm of lagrounes, water-based undead that attacked from beneath the Bendelson Bridge near downtown.
Dante is on the run from Vestinian, who once tasked Dante to find Billy Middleton. Dante failed. Vestinian wants payback. He hired famed bounty hunter Icepick to find Dante. Icepick, and his familiar Herbie, a giant, diamond-plated tortoise known as a diamortuga, had an early run-in with Lincoln and Billy at the bridge just before Lincoln & co took out the lagrounes.
Now, Lincoln has been summoned to Cordis for a talk with Juanita Socorro, the Clostator of the Bastion. Lincoln does not know what she wants, but he has no choice but to obey her summons.
Billy is joining Lincoln on the trip. Together, they will visit the Clearinghaüs pawnshop and find Billy’s signature weapon. Lincoln, of course, is unaware that Billy has been sneaking off to Cordis for magical training sessions with Morgan Stone, the former assistant of Kellius Droman and former protector of Droman’s daughter, Delilah.

Dante Oganov offered Lincoln a deal — help him get blackmail material on Callista and use it to force Callista out, and Dante would set Lincoln’s son Sam free. The offer brings significant danger to Sam, though, as Callista will not be happy, and Dante is being hunted by Vestinian — the man who ruined Magda and wants to absorb Billy’s power.
Lincoln wasn’t sure if he should take the deal because of the risk to Sam, but after meeting with his substance abuse group, he decided he has to take the chance. Now, he will find out if Ariella, Magda, and Billy will join him on this quest.
