A rabble-rouser with burn scars marring his neck and face. A runaway slave who limps and mutters to himself. Another exile, this one riddled with pockmarks and accompanied by a dirty seagull. A dowser who braids her hair in elaborate patterns threaded with blue flowers.

What do these outcasts -- these reluctant witches and warlocks and shamans -- have in common? They're about to find out.

And it will cause them to love, fight, and kill each other.
