Collects Briar #5-8
The slaying of Dreadcrawl brought only infamy for Briar and her band of bounty hunting companions. They may be chivalrous in truth, but the whispers of their capacity for swords plunged through the hearts of any that cross them is enough to keep their coin purses empty.
However, between the zealous arm of the law, a future filled with more accursed cold and devastation than the snow-capped mountains, and heavy chains for our heroes, will Spider’s clever plan be enough for Briar to finally reach the castle of her evil fairy godmother Grendrid? And will there be room yet for love to blossom between Briar and a close companion in such a desolate land?
