No Quarter

Having offered sanctuary to the soul of the man who stole her brothers body, Vree heads north to Shkoder with two kigh struggling to co-exist in a single body. Although the odds arent in their favour, theres a chance, a small chance, the Bards can find Gyhard a body of his own without anyone else having to die. But Vree was an assassin trained to kill on command, Gyhard has chosen to kill again and again on a quest for immortality, and the Bards arent certain which of them is the more dangerous. No one, from the guard on the Citadel gate to the King himself, wants them anywhere near the single Healer who can Sing the Fifth Kigh.No one except Magda, the Healer, whose heritage has taught her that things are not always as they seem.In the end, Bardic suspicion becomes the least of Vrees problems. The dead walk in the mountains of Shkoder, kigh confined in rotting corpses, and Gyhards past returned to haunt them. Hunted by the Bards and the Healers family, Vree, Gyhard and Magda head for the mountains to try and Sing Gyhards past to rest. To make matters worse, Vrees brother has yet to forgive her for saving Gyhards life and is determined to bring Gyhardand therefore Vreeback to the Empire to pay the price for treason.
