   Summary

   Gale Dekarios is on the run from his former lover in the name of a secret he believes can change the world, if only he can live long enough to unravel it.

   Astarion Ancunín hasn't known freedom in twenty long years, and he'll take any opportunity he can find to slip the chains of his sadistic master.

   When the two of them are abducted by sinister cloaked figures known only as The Flayers, they wake up chained on a moving train with no memory of how they got there beyond flashes of a strange operation.
