Blood Cut was all about bad blood - the bad blood flowing through the veins of Roark Shado and the men he hired to do his fighting for him. Charging a five-dollar toll to cross the Blood River, Shado had dreams of turning his ugly little kingdom of prostitution and thievery into an empire. Then three hard men crossed into Blood Cut - without paying a dime. Each had his own motive, and each was ready to fight and die in a war against Roark Shado.
