* A stand-alone adventure set in the Amaranthe universe *
The Hesgyr are thieves. “Scavengers,” to hear their victims tell it; “repurposers” by their own reckoning.

As Chief of Intelligence for Non-Anaden Affairs, Eren Savitas’ job is to protect the Advocacy from all manner of alien sabotage, assassination, insurgency and, way down the list, theft. So when he spots a Hesgyr running off with valuable technology, he follows the alien home—and discovers a civilization unlike any he’s ever encountered.

Yes, the Hesgyr are thieves. But they are also being hunted. Systematically exterminated by an enemy they can’t see, touch or find. As Eren finds himself drawn ever deeper into the mystery of the attacks, he uncovers a complex web of loyalties and betrayals—and beneath it all, a secret that may hold the key to the survival of more than one civilization.
