Publisher's blurb: Built above the Serpent’s Bay, this clifftop fortress is defended by murder holes and sharpened stakes—promising death to those foolish enough to attempt to breach the walls. Few scale the other side, however, for it is rumoured a serpent lives below—and hungers... Reinforced gates bar both entrances to a ground-floor court, and stairs lead upwards to a second-story ramparts, stocked with supplies. High towers lead to simple, yet comfortable, chambers for a handful of people. Four tower chambers overlook the surrounding environment, on the third floor. In one of them is a table piled high with gold coins, and dispersed within the other chambers are desks with papers.
