As Aurrente continues to investigate the murder of his colleague Antonius Maray, a new person enters the story - Captain Chloe Vasker, a famous, or infamous, member of the Legion, the international volunteer army created to fight the undead. A brief history of the Legion is provided and we learn more about the Corraban border guards - perhaps the most thoroughly corrupt organisation that ever existed.

Featuring Mike Cuellar as Mason Cainrich, Graham Rowat as Ciro Aurrente, Caroline Mincks as Captain Chloe Vasker, Stewart Moyer as Icharn Vetigern and Tal Minear as Mishen Prast
