When ghosts from her past return to haunt her, Pickett's life of hiding is over. She must deal with their truths or lose the only home she's ever had.
In the ramshackle port town of Southfen, moneylenders run the streets and prostitutes rule the night. It's the old stomping ground of Pickett, the swamp witch-turned-servant. Of course, a conwoman like Pickett was never meant to serve, and she's all too ready to return to her swamp bar, the Pick's Pocket. More importantly, she's ready to return to her right-hand woman, Edie, so they can live the rest of their lives slinging cheap booze to broke traders and fishermen. The Sedrian dream. But peace is short-lived, and a spectre of Pickett's past materializes in the form of a job too good to refuse.
All they have to do is bust a young woman out of a temple, and they'll be up to their eyeballs in coin. Never mind that it's incredibly illegal, and that this job might land them right in the middle of the business politics of the most powerful men in the city. With stakes that high, they have to reap that reward. Or else.
