Poor Mathew. Poorer Glace. While on the way to Grace City to claim Mathew's promised kingship, and more importantly, the cure to his curse, they lose their mounts to the cold. They encounter a village full of dead people, and they make their way to a cabin occupied by two bounty hunters, their catch, a slaver, and a dandified lordling. Oh yes, along the way they pick up two strange children. It makes for a crowded cabin, but don't worry, it gets emptier real fast.
