The House of the Scarred Backs

The House of the Scarred Backs has held their territory for six generations. Few dare to challenge them, and those few foolish swiftly regret it--assuming they survive the mistake. Alkeides is a proud Brother, happy and honoured to do whatever is asked of him to look after the Scarred Backs. When he is called upon to track down a possible traitor and murderer in their midst--a vile shifter who may have infiltrated their ranks--Alkeides doesn't hesitate.

But a simple hunt for a traitor has unexpected consequences, leaving Alkeides wondering who he really is and what he really wants.
