Description

You will either coexist, or your existence ends. The choice is yours.

Who better to investigate a series of murders than an experienced and accomplished killer? The problem is, wanted criminals don't grow old. They get caught, and after more than three decades on the run, Darius Cade is feeling his age. His speed, flexibility and brutality were always enough to evade the bounty hunters, but how does an aging mercenary escape a religious order of millions? Not even the wonders of advanced technology can return his youthful prowess, but perhaps art can.

For decades, talented artisans have infused tattoos with a fragment of the Earthdawn deity. The influence of "The Light" enhances the wearer's requested abilities beyond natural limits. His inking, though, creates a link to a much darker and even more unnatural being.

Their pairing is far from happy, yet there is no way to undo the bond of blood. Working together is the only way to solve the murders, but they will uncover answers that nobody wants, and there will be no shortage of new casualties along the way.

Together, they have the potential to be the most lethal force in the world, if they don't kill each other first.
