    "description": "In the forgotten back alleys and flophouses that lie in the shadows of Rigus, the finest city of the Thirteen Lands, you will find Low Town. It is an ugly place, and its cham\u00adpion is an ugly man. Disgraced intelligence agent. Forgotten war hero. Independent drug dealer. After a fall from grace five years ago, a man known as the Warden leads a life of crime, addicted to cheap violence and expensive drugs. Every day is a constant hustle to find new customers and protect his turf from low-life competition like Tancred the Harelip and Ling Chi, the enigmatic crime lord of the heathens.\n\nThe Warden\u2019s life of drugged iniquity is shaken by his dis\u00adcovery of a murdered child down a dead-end street . . . set\u00adting him on a collision course with the life he left behind. As a former agent with Black House\u2014the secret police\u2014he knows better than anyone that murder in Low Town is an everyday thing, the kind of crime that doesn\u2019t get investi\u00adgated. To protect his home, he will take part in a dangerous game of deception between underworld bosses and the psy\u00adchotic head of Black House, but the truth is far darker than he imagines. In Low Town, no one can be trusted.",
