Having slipped the nooses of their pursuers in Tyrant's Gallow, Charlotte and Rone are at last in sight of their goal as they approach Golice, but things are not as they were in the ancient city of the Wolf God.

Fear of a new plague has stopped all entry to Big Johnny's home port, and the city is paralyzed by the dictates of an inquisitor who is none other than the high priest of the cult of Nostera. To penetrate the blockade, they must all rely on the skills of an unwanted passenger - Mineo Gordino, a scoundrel, smuggler, and debtor from Tyrant's Gallow.

Secretly entering the city with the former prisoner Mineo's help, Rone finds that the criminal underbelly of the once-familiar city has changed radically, and he is devoid of connections. And so, he and Charlotte must find their way through the shadows of the underworld among thieves, assassins, and opium dealers to secure the final path home.

But of course, wicked elements bring wicked ends, and nothing is quite so hazardous in Golice as doing business with the enigmatic Tom, the kingpin in control of all covert dealings in Golice, and yet Charlotte and Rone have no other choice...

From David V. Stewart, author of The Eternal Dream Series and Muramasa: Blood Drinker, comes the closure of the first arc that is the thrilling tale of fantasy adventure and intrigue that is Moonsong!
