From publisher blurb: When less-than-kind types are looking for people to go with them on a job, they might ask for a cat, meaning they need someone to scale the walls. They might ask for an owl, someone to stand watch as the job goes down. Most of the time they also ask for a bear or a bull: a person who can end problems with a swift swing of their sword or club, and who doesn’t much care how they win their fights, as long as their opponent isn’t awake to talk about the strife.
