The great charnel house where men die surer than any wilderness.

And Lenk has come to lay down his sword for good.
But this is no place to escape demons.

Scott Lynch Playful language, distinctly drawn characters, and a cavalcade of action.
SF Signal An entertaining blend of classic adventure and inventive inspiration.
