Narrado por: Virtual Voice

The White Necromancer holds a grudge against the Phantom Badgers, and time is running out for the motley band of sell-swords. They are locked into the death-vise of an implacable foe, and the only key to escape is a desperate long shot at acquiring an enchanted Torc. Eighteen months have passed since Dark Obligations, and the Phantom Badgers are facing the fact that the long-delayed wrath of the necromancer is drawing near. With death looming Durek leads a detachment on a desperate mission to locate the key to their survival, a mission made of secrets and deceptions which snowball into a twisted net of plots and subterfuge. Their quest takes Durek, Dimitri, Kroh, Starr, Rolf, and the others of the Company’s inner circle from the Red Shores, through the Border Realms, and on to the Blasted Plains. Enemies abound, from Direbreed in the mountains to Eyade horsemen on the Plains, and on to the deadly spy corps of the Dark Threll. Once again the Badgers must face long odds, moving fast, fighting hard, and trying to stay one step of everyone else. With spells, steel, and simple courage the men and women, Dwarves and Threll of the Phantom Badgers face their obligations and enemies with equal amounts of audacity and bravado. From Rolf Lightseeker, the hulking half-Orc devoted to his friends, to Elonia Starshine, the enigmatic half-breed Seer, and on to Arian Thyben, the retired cult-hunter, the Phantom Badgers take the reader down a dark and bloody road to a destination that will only beckon them onwards.
