No longer confined to the Pit, Dantes is out for blood.

Those who got him thrown down into Rendhold Underprison don’t know he’s coming, but they will. They’ve grown powerful in his absence, but he’s got new tricks of his own and he’s only just started to put down his roots.

Rats only take small bites at first, but if there are enough of them, there’s nothing they can’t tear apart and eat.

The only thing slowing him down are the mysterious people that share his abilities. Are they friends? Or foes?

He’ll just have to trust his instincts… Or at least Jacopo’s.
