The Bargaining Chip

Season 4 Begins:

Overwhelmed by new threats, the revelation of magic, and Polo's intent to destroy the Thieves Guild, Raylan grapples with the city's shifting powers. Just as despair over Alard sets in, Raef uncovers a shocking secret about Pietro's past hidden in ancient guild ledgers. But an even greater shock awaits, as a supposedly fallen friend is revealed to be a captive pawn in Polo's dangerous new game for control of Ness.

Some secrets are worth dying for. Some are worth killing for.
