But when his grand plans of escaping poverty fail miserably, he is left with nothing. Now, burdened by a crippling debt and forced into servitude, he must embark on a daring expedition into the ancient tunnels beneath the city in search of a hidden treasure rumored to be there. Yet, down in the Ratways, things rarely go smoothly. When a sudden disaster strikes their small party, Jayden finds himself lost in the darkness. Abandoned and left to die by his fellows, he refuses to succumb to such a horrid fate and struggles with everything he has to find a way out. In the end, he didn't find a way out. However, he found something else—something that had the potential to change his pitiful life forever.
