Now, thanks to the wisdom of the Association of Merchants and the intellect of the Guild of Engineers, the land is thriving once again. Its citizens sleep soundly in their beds, mistakenly believing that the peace will last forever.Templar Rourke has dedicated his life to hunting down the insidious devices of war that the Predation left behind.

Now he and the obstinate Forge Guard Warvitch must escape the city to save the land from ruin, but to do so, their collective skills are going to be sorely tested.
