Gamine was taken off the street by an aristocrat, schooled as a fine young lady - then abandoned at her patron's whim and forced to make her living as a grifter. Huang's army career is cut short by a bandit ambush. When the two meet, Gamine - 'Iron Jaw'� - is the leader of a sham religious movement, and Huang, or 'Hummingbird,'� is the bandits' chief tactician. They join forces to bring down the corrupt government that has determined their lives. Iron Jaw and Hummingbird offers a planet's worth of adventure!
