Sectum Irongut has lived most of his life on the sea of the backwater planet of Tefira. The Elves set the entire planet aside for their less desirable elements, which has created a world of danger with no chance of escape. So far he's lived a fairly exciting life, but all of that is threatened when his adoptive father, the Dwarf smuggler Garm Irongut, decides to help a captive princess run from the Elves. In a world where danger is around every corner, they've dove head first into middle of a storm.
