Harald Darrowdelve is no longer a laughingstock. He's a rising threat.
His recent delves into the dungeon have transformed him from a disgraced heir into a name whispered by nobles and feared by rivals. His explosive gain in power has caught the eye of every major House in Flutic—and none of them believe it was luck. Now Harald must navigate a maze of political seductions, shadowy threats, and veiled demands. Some Houses offer patronage. Others offer thinly veiled ultimatums. All want a piece of the secret that let him ascend. But Harald's not looking to sell out. He's building something of his own: A crew. A charter. A new way forward. One that just might survive the games the Houses play. Unless the Houses decide to kill him first.
