Never look a strange wizard in the eye. The problem: all wizards are strange.
Mort has been on the run from the Convocation for decades. Time and again, they've tried—and failed—to capture him. But a new adversary is taking a crack at claiming the bounty on Mort. Someone has done extensive homework, and found the weakness in Mort's armor.
Now the Mobius will become a battleground, putting Mort in a double bind: to save himself, he just might have to kill the entire crew; if he wants to save them, the only way out might be surrender.
Will Mort go quietly, or gamble that he can win a showdown with a wizard who has devoted years of study to defeating him?
