Returning from Kalidmay the Children of Blood find themselves challenged by the Red Bones, their rival gang. It is time Tyr knew which of the two gangs ruled the caravan district for good and all. As one group of Children heads to House Ianto to gather intelligence and exact revenge on those who would dare harbor the Sorcerer King, Kalak’s last templar, the Ashbringer, another group prepares to face the Red Bones in the open square of the caravan district and see their true status spelled out in blood on the sand.
