Harry's a cardsharp worn thin by time, scoured of his ideals and passions by a world ruled by fear. His past is littered with the broken, and the dead. A failed revolution has left him an outlaw, hunted by pitiless arcane powers, and the resentful remnants of the failed rebellion itself. He fears for his daughter, the only thing tying him to life, fears that she has inherited her mother's hateful magic. Harry's sees trouble on the horizon, cruel winds, and bad cards for him and his, and he's not sure he can weather it all over again.
