A shaman has stirred up the Picts and a fort on the Aquilonian frontier will fall to their bloody axes unless he can be killed. A team of scouts has volunteered to hunt him down in the deadly Pictish Wilderness, a suicide mission. Worse, they must take along a wizard, their only hope of defeating the shaman. Killing the shaman may very well be possible, but they first must survive the woods.
