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.
