Protests in Verendal turn into clashes between poorer residents and the city's Archers. Executioner Finn investigates who is driving the unrest, facing unfamiliar witchcraft and the possibility that violence will spread beyond the city into the kingdom.

A failed theft leaves Finn Jagger awaiting execution until the king's executioner chooses him as an apprentice. Learning to investigate the condemned, Finn faces divided loyalties when his former crew wants his help with another dangerous heist.

Finn prepares for testing before the executioner court, knowing it will end his service in Verendal. Strange attacks suggest witchcraft has returned, and he must investigate a hidden power before leaving the city he has sworn to protect.
