When the company comes across the promise of riches hidden in a monastery, the motley crew finally feel as though their luck is changing…But as quickly as they find the treasure, quicker still it’s stolen from under their noses, and as they seek revenge on the unknown thief, they find themselves swept up in the might - and the politics - of the Great Company… Will any of them get out alive?Praise for Michael Jecks:'Marvellously portrayed' C.
