Dante Oganov is getting ready to make another run at Callista to take over her criminal holdings in Lumencia. Dante, with help from Lincoln’s friend and former lawyer Dillon Cantrell, set up a bounty to test Lincoln. Lincoln had to defeat a swarm of lagrounes, water-based undead that attacked from beneath the Bendelson Bridge near downtown.

Dante is on the run from Vestinian, who once tasked Dante to find Billy Middleton. Dante failed. Vestinian wants payback. He hired famed bounty hunter Icepick to find Dante. Icepick, and his familiar Herbie, a giant, diamond-plated tortoise known as a diamortuga, had an early run-in with Lincoln and Billy at the bridge just before Lincoln & co took out the lagrounes.

Now, Lincoln has been summoned to Cordis for a talk with Juanita Socorro, the Clostator of the Bastion. Lincoln does not know what she wants, but he has no choice but to obey her summons.

Billy is joining Lincoln on the trip. Together, they will visit the Clearinghaüs pawnshop and find Billy’s signature weapon. Lincoln, of course, is unaware that Billy has been sneaking off to Cordis for magical training sessions with Morgan Stone, the former assistant of Kellius Droman and former protector of Droman’s daughter, Delilah.

Something fishy about that lagroune contract, sure, but there ain’t nothing fishy about our GoDaddy Promo Code CJCFOSSIG3! Save 99% on the first year of a new dot-com domain registration.
