And when a job seems too easy, that’s when something really ugly is about to happen.
For Fell Alkland is about to become Stark’s worst nightmare, a nightmare where anything can happen at any time—where friends can become enemies in a heartbeat and your most secret fear a soul-screaming reality. And the worst of it is that for this nightmare you don’t even have to be asleep.
