A hunt across the world and through the Wild, with more at stake than the hunters realise.

Jayas Zrei's last throw of the dice lost him everything. Everything except his wits, his skills and one companion in adversity. What else to do but try again, double or nothing, death or fortune? Surely luck will favour him this time. The big score has to be out there somewhere.

Tol Henze is a magician who finds people who do not want to be found. It does not pay well, so when someone offers her a lot to find Jayas Zrei she sets out eagerly. The trail will be long and take her to strange places, but Jayas could be Tol's big score.

A fourth Tale of the Wild, following on from The Servant's Story. Sometimes a quest is about finding what you really want.
