Limdon, a city that never slept— mainly because if you did, you might wake up without your purse— was bustling as always. Home to over a million, its streets were alive with opportunity... or at least the illusion of it.
For every successful deal made, a hundred wallets were lightened, a hundred hopes crushed. Life was very hard in a city as big as this, especially in places like a tavern, where fights broke out as frequently as the bartender's complaints.
And today? No different.
A broad-shouldered man and a lean woman were circling each other in the center of the tavern, their gazes locked like two wolves over the last scrap of meat.
