Compulsion

For Kolangelo Kriss, an elf with some skill with a blade, adventure was a way of life. But when he sought a little excitement by picking a fight with the wrong people, he found himself with an angry mage and a debt to settle. Now he's chasing after the Tear of Ages into a war-torn town, caught between the Imperium and the Tigraine, the two most powerful forces in the land. Only one question remained: which was going to kill him first?
