While Damsport is facing civil war, Longinus cuts Rory's hair... Don't miss the final instalment in The Viper and the Urchin series! The Rising Rooks, the Rookery rebels, are mounting an attack against Garrata that they hope will destabilise her enough to weaken her grip on Damsport. But not only does the mission fail, its failure causes a rift between the Rising Rooks and the rest of Damsport. Rory and Longinus find themselves retreating to the Rookery without support from the rest of the city and without resources. They'll have to use all their ingenuity and inimitable style to somehow get to Garrata. Whether it's cutting Rory's hair, robbing a post office, or creating dastardly poisons, Rory and Longinus fight with everything they've got. Will they succeed, or will they fail to free Damsport? If they go down, at least they'll be going down in style... Grab the final adventure in Rory and Longinus's saga.
