Opening lines: A princess, a shape-shifter, and a ghost walked into a bar. The room fell silent as all eyes turned toward the princess. The bar was the Black Swan, the most prestigious saloon in Commonground. While the house wasn't as packed as it would be come midnight, scores of hardcore gamblers crowded around the poker tables. Ordinarily, you could march a two-headed tiger through the joint and the players wouldn't glance up from their cards. The gamblers made an exception for the princess, known in these parts as Infidel, who was much more dangerous than a tiger no matter how many heads it might have.
