The story shifts between Lord Mariusz’s home, Castle Hattan, and places he visits in the realms under the guise of Hugo, a traveling salesman of Wozna Cola. Well, he really does see it as a business opportunity. He gets involved in murder, vampires, totalitarian societies (I wonder where that might be?), industrial espionage and assassination, and all the while he just wants to make some money. Poor Mariusz!
