Now that they have an employer - one who is a princess, no less - Mishap's Heroes can look forward to a nice, steady gig smack in the middle of the most civilized city in Southglen. No more running around, scrambling after petty villains. Or so they thought. Vola and the others barely make it to the city before they learn there's treason afoot, and as the Dagger Throne's new problem-solvers, Mishap's Heroes had better come up with a plan quick, before enemies of the Throne take a bite out of the princess's power.

They need some fast cash if they’re going to track down the slaver Lord Arthorel was selling his people to.

Vola’s got divine help, and even a laughingstock of a goddess can do some righteous smiting.
