Teaser
The Dark Times have begun.

''The Makuta have successfully enacted their coup against the Great Spirit Mata Nui, and plunged him into a deep eternal slumber. Now, the denizens of Mata Nui's prosperous kingdom have spiralled into a bleak depression as the Makuta's victory over their world becomes even more real. The darkness has finally won, and now everything will suffer under the oppression of these shapeshifing masters of darkness. But only if their glorious leader is freed from his impenetrable prison.''

''Whilst countless thousands have feared this new dawn, some have actually begun to profit from it. One of these people is Skorr, a cutthroat Zeverek turned bounty hunter with a love for all jobs risky and dangerous. He will take up any job for the right price, even when the job comes from the ones who have abused the trust of the Great Spirit himself. When Skorr is hired to retrieve something of value from the deserted city of Metru Nui, he does not expect much other than a big reward. But how quickly things can change.''

'' What is locked away in the deepest recesses of Metru Nui? Why is it so important to the Brotherhood that it requires Skorr to get it? And what is the meaning of the last words of a gruesomely murdered Makuta who died nine weeks ago? As Skorr finds himself locked in a job outside his field of expertise, perhaps even he will come to realise that not everything is worth risking in his love of profit. As old sins lash out at him, Skorr will be confronted by the menaces of his toughest job ever as he travels from the valleys of the Tren Krom Peninsula to the seedy corners of Stelt, and he will be posed a mystery that will torture his soul for years to come.''
