A Rat for a Rat

Librarian's Note: Alternate-cover edition for ASIN B00JNP83T8 The tyrant is dead. Istonnia is free, and peace has returned to her streets. Yet war is just a spark away. Having forgone his own freedom for the sake of those he cares for, Nivvo, the young thief, wants nothing but to lie low until the rumors have died down. But then a crossbow bolt flies true, and a rat dies. Someone, somewhere, wants revenge.
