Syndael is a fiery redheaded beauty, and one of the Nameless ... a mysterious group of valiant heroes working for the Wardens of Ashra. Syndael puts her very life on the line to serve and protect the people of her planet. Oprianal, the most dangerous narcotic known to the realm of men, is being distributed through the Lotus Tavern in Bristork by a lusty, vicious criminal named Jaques. The tavern is just part of the criminal enterprise known as the Shadow Claw run by the master assassin named Frost. Syndael must go undercover as a tavern maid to try and bring this Jaques to justice. The more Syndael learns about Jaques, the more she begins to suspect there may be something else ... something bigger and deadlier ... behind the Shadow Claw's evil scheming. What are they really up to?When another of her Nameless team, Adom, is discovered and killed by Jaques, he also begins to suspect that Syndael as well, is Nameless. Syndael is beaten, tortured and abused by Jaques in an effort to break her. She manages to hold out, but must resort to using Oprianal herself to control the pain! Should Syndrael abandon her mission and save herself, or risk the possibility of a painful, brutal death at the hands of Jaques to see her mission through?Author Wayne O'Brien weaves a fantastic tale of lust, murder, heroism, and intrigue set in a wondrous world of his creation ... Ashra with its red sun rising in the West, its brilliant green sky, its Wizards, Warlocks and Dragons.
