Synopsis: From the back cover of the Del Rey first edition: "Heroes Die but Caine is no hero. He's an assassin.
Renowned throughout the land of Ankhana as the Blade of Tyshalle, Caine has killed his share of monarchs and commoners, villains and heroes. He is relentless, unstoppable, simply the best there is at what he does. He is free.
At home on Earth, Caine is Hari Michaelson, a superstar whose Adventures command an audience of billions. Yet he is shackled by a rigid caste society, bound to ignore the grim fact that men die on a far-off world for the entertainment of his own planet - bound to keep his rage in check.
But now Michaelson has crossed the line. His estranged wife, Pallas Ril has mysteriously disappeared in the slums of Ankhana. To save her, he must confront the greatest challenge of his life: a lethal game of cat and mouse with the most treacherous rulers of two worlds."
