Leaving behind the life of a thief has had its ups and downs for Radd Risk. Living under the roof of an ornery dwarven lawman may cramp one's style, but having a place to call home is more than worth it. But old habits die hard, and a not-so-chance encounter with a beautiful woman leads to trouble, with Radd soon finding himself tangling with murderous mages and elven assassins. With both new and old friends at his side, Radd must unravel a shadowy plot involving magic, mystery and murder, while accused of a crime he didn't commit. This book collects Once Upon a Time in Roughside: Games of Chance, originally serialized at onwardbound.net, with special print-only expansions to the story.
