The popular author of the Honor Harrington series tells the tale of Bahzell, a hsradani who has violated a hostage bond and now must deal with a vengeful prince and a price on his head. He doesn't want to mess with anyone else's problems, let alone the War God's. So how does he end up a thousand leagues from home? It's all the War God's fault.
Bahzell is no knight in shining armor, and besides he has too many problems of his own to be messing with anybody else's problems -- let alone the War God's. Unfortunately, the War God has other ideas. . . .
