With the deed to an entire city comes… disappointingly little responsibility. Still, Freddy decides to put his money where his mouth had been his entire life, determined to do the right thing. And, as always, his resolve is rewarded with an unreasonable challenge. A horde of monsters is kicked into a frenzy, sending a wave of destruction across the entire Northern Belt. If he wants to keep his people alive, he will need to leverage every shred of power he has. Including the attention of several large factions from the empire mainland.

Finding himself on the run from the law, Freddy will need a safe place to hide. His target?

If he wants to remain free—or even alive—he needs to find somewhere he can hide long enough to bury the trail. His first choice ends up being the infamous, crime-ridden area of the Northern Belt.
