Vola, Sorrel, and the others have managed to bring down Lord Arthorel, their first big bad guy, but unfortunately, they didn’t get paid. That’s what happens when you arrest your employer. They need some fast cash if they’re going to track down the slaver Lord Arthorel was selling his people to.

Unfortunately, it's not just traitors they have to worry about.

Can Vola, Talon, and the others track down the magic thief before whoever it is wakes the dragons?

Vola screwed up. Big time. Thanks to her mistakes during the coup, she's been stripped of her shield and labeled a black paladin, an oathbreaker. But who is she without her shield?

Now she's got to find a job in her hometown with her loving and highly supportive parents breathing down her neck, while her party tracks her down and refuses to accept her resignation. The only thing that could make it all better is a chance to bag the bad guy who was responsible for her mistake during the coup.
