His father's dying words were three: decide it looking.
When Halden Aumar inherits his family's failing trading house, he inherits something else too - a locked chest, a debt-ridden ledger, and a letter eleven years unanswered. To save the only inheritance left to him, he must walk the one road his father spent two decades running and never once explained: past chieftains at war, through the ashes of a fallen empire, to a city that shouldn't still exist.
Gutan stands where a whole civilization fell - the last of its kind, kept alive by grain and silver and a silence three thousand years old. Its streets are swept clean of everyone. Its people wear their hoods for reasons no outsider has ever been brave enough to ask about.
Halden came to save his father's house. He may leave having to decide what kind of man he means to be instead.
Some doors are worth the knocking. Some questions are worth eleven years of silence to finally ask.
