Lincoln and Dante have put together a team that can break into the underground fortress at Alnwick, where Callista keeps a piece of her soul and uses it to channel magical energy from a hideous anemone polyp farm. Dante is on the run from both Callista and the powerful mage Vestinian. Vestinian hired Icepick to see if Dante is in Lumencia, and to kill him if he’s there.
Following a hunch, Icepick went to Cordis and confronted Dillon Cantrell, who brought Lincoln and Dante together for this objective.
Is Icepick closing in?
And if he is, how does it affect the Alnwick caper?

At Ariella’s behest, Lincoln and Billy traveled to Israel, to the Hospitaller Commandery of Saint-Jean-d'Acre, and acquired the Cursed Armor of Sir Arnault the Pure. Magda can control the armor as if she were inside of it through the ear cuff Lincoln took after killing the Lich from Lynchburg.
An agoraphobic trapped inside the Old Stone Church for years, can Magda possess the suit and make it walk out the front door?
Dante Oganov has a plan to acquire a shard of Callista’s soul and use it to take over her territory and free Lincoln’s son, Sam, from the vicious purgatory known as The Shelf. To accomplish this task, Lincoln needs to assemble a team that can do the impossible — where will he find the missing pieces for this do-or-die lineup?

Lincoln needs to acquire assets for the great caper of stealing a piece of Callista’s soul. But before he and the Old Stone Church crew assemble the pieces of that puzzle, Aunty Juanita told him that his bounty hunting days are over, and she tasked him with sharing that information with another legendary bounty hunter.
Speaking of bounty hunters, Icepick is obsessed with his mission of finding Dante Oganov for the secretive and powerful mage Vestinian, who wants Oganov — and Billy Middleton — dead as a doornail. Icepick takes a little trip to track down a clue.

All this while Lincoln tries to hide his affair with Ariella, while Billy tries to hide the fact he’s training with Morgan Stone in Cordis, and Magda tries to hide her ever-growing drinking problem. If the Old Stone Church gang can’t trust each other, who can they trust?
So, what is the blackmail material that could set Sam free? Dante has not yet told anyone but Cantrell, Lincoln’s friend and former lawyer. When Lincoln finds out what must be done, will he go through with it?

Lincoln and Billy are in Cordis. Lincoln is about to meet with Juanita. Billy is sneaking in another round of training with Morgan Stone, former assistant to Kellius Droman, father of Delilah.
After Lincoln’s meeting, he intends to take Billy shopping at the Clearinghaüs to see if they can find Billy a signature weapon, something Billy can train with and master.

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.

To the Franks siblings, the Clostator is also known as “Aunty Juanita,” as she was once the fighting partner of their father, Jacoby Franks, known as the greatest monster hunter of all time.
