With their horses dead, the Scum Kings become beasts of burden themselves, dragging two tons of stolen gold through the Grey Tangle by hand. But the empty forest isn't empty—scavengers and bandits circle like jackals, waiting for exhaustion or the See's soldiers to do their work for them. When Orso proposes the unthinkable—bury the treasure and return for it later—Dray's rage explodes. Is he protecting their prize, or has the gold's weight broken something inside him? As the crew watches their leader cross a line, they must decide: follow a man descending into obsession, or abandon the fortune that could save them all.-----Want to binge The Scum Kings with fewer ads?
