The One Eyed King — Ed Greenwood

Ath Cliath, City of Gold-city of slaves-is the wealthiest city in all the world. One of the few bright spots in a darkening world, as Fimbulwinter deepens. Its brightness built by the man who conquered it: Sitric Cuaran, the One-Eyed King. Masterful is he, a wise and capable tyrant. Such men make enemies even when they are not conquerors, or ruthless-and the One-Eyed King is both of those things. Wherefore many seek his death. This is the tale of some of them. And of the decisions they made, and the city their choices and deeds changed forever.
