Description
Harrison Tackitt was once a man of iron will, burning ambition, and fierce loyalties. Once. Now, the man who fills his shoes simply seeks to be left alone in his creaking tavern to ply his weak alcohol and weaker penchant for peers. Still, he can't outrun the past, and the recent success of an old friend turned foe will force him to invite unwelcome guests both familiar and not into his life. But Tackitt's reliance on his get-rich-quick obsessed acquaintance and a mysterious pair of new tenants will test his resolve to remain secluded as his own guarded background increasingly comes to the fore. And as Tackitt attempts to navigate the city-spanning intrigue he has stumbled into, he soon discovers his mundane tale has drawn the attention of an ancient entity that will do whatever is necessary to obtain the answers it seeks. Even if it means erasing Tackitt from his own story.Faced with growing obligations to his newfound friends, the conspirations and threats of ambitious rogues, the heartless logic of a broken deity, as well as the ghosts of his past failures, Tackitt would prefer none of this to be his responsibility. But as the plot rolls inexorably forward, Tackitt will find that by word and deed, he cannot turn away. Not this time.
