Hawk and Fisher, reinforced by another detachment of guards—the Company of the Hammer—go to suppress the uprising of the prisoners in the city’s main prison. For the temporary meeting of the two kings of the city’s power, the prisons were stuffed far beyond capacity—not only with ordinary gangsters, but with creatures of all kinds: sorcerers, demons, and unique monsters. If this menagerie breaks free because of the riot and floods the streets, the city will be destroyed. Meanwhile, the terrorists are preparing to storm the royal palace.
