eBook Description: Although it's Lythande's magic that's for hire, not her blade--at least, not the right-hand blade--you don't live long in the lands between Tschardain and Northwander if you don't have some skill with an edged weapon, and she has plenty. A swordswoman's mission, however, can sideslip without warning into a magician's ordeal. And may the gods help her who's caught in a web spun by somebody else's magic.

In a place like the Thieves' Quarter of Old Gandrin, there is no survival skill more important than the ability to mind your own business. Come robbery, rape, arson, blood feud, or the strange doings of wizards, a carefully cultivated deaf ear for other people's problems - not to mention a blind eye, or better, two, for anything that is not your affair - is the best way, maybe the only way, to keep out of trouble.
It is no accident that everywhere in Old Gandrin, and everywhere else under the Twin Suns, they speak of the blinded eye of Keth-Ketha. A god knows better than to watch the doings of his creatures too carefully.
Lythande, the mercenary-magician, knew this perfectly well.

It was one of the reasons why Lythande had survived this long; through cultivating superb skill at own-business-minding in a place where there were a variety of strange businesses to be minded.
