Teacup is an acquisitioner, not a thief.Admittedly, the nuance doesn't play well with the town authorities, but as long as the kids get fed and nobody notices the boarded-up cobbler's shop on Redemption Alley, Teacup can ignore his nagging conscience.But Teacup steps into the torchlight, so to speak, when he rescues a young paladin from assassination. Suddenly, the assassins' guild is hot on his tail, and Teacup's best hope for survival lies in the powerful, stolen ring in his pocket and a breadcrumb trail left by one of the dark guild's own best and brightest.
