Whatever the cost, seven men must die.
Betrayed, thrown down a mountain and left for dead, Murcatto\'s reward is a broken body and a burning hunger for vengeance.

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.
While armies march, heads roll and cities burn, and behind the scenes bankers, priests and older, darker powers play a deadly game to choose who will be king.
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.
There have been nineteen years of blood.
And that means war.
