"The Nameless City--held by the rogue Dao prince Erzi--is under siege by a coalition of Dao and Yisun forces that are determined to end the war once and for all. And the people of the city--the 'Named'--are caught in between. Meanwhile, Rat and Kai must infiltrate Erzi's palace and steal back the ancient and deadly formula for napatha--the ancient weapon of mass destruction Erzie has unearthed--before he can use it to destroy everything they hold dear!"--Provided by publisher.
