The plan is simple: return to her old home - the ruthless Iron Fortress -, grab her father and disappear for good. But when the rescue mission turns into her own capture, she must survive the dangers that lurk in the mountain catacombs: an illegal fighting ring led by the true Traitor to the Crown; the new High-General and the King's Right Hand. Victory guarantees food and a chance to see the sun, but defeat costs more than a life. While hatching an escape plan with the help of her friends from the surface, and amidst weekly bloodbaths, Riko strikes a desperate bargain with a mysterious assassin - nameless and faceless - who could become either her greatest ally or her downfall.
