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.

Finding himself on the run from the law, Freddy will need a safe place to hide. His target? A borderline lawless subordinate territory of the Empire; a land of cruelty, vigilantism, and mountains of ice—the Northern Belt.

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.
