After years in the wilds, Lenk and his companions have come to the city that serves as the world's beating heart.
The great charnel house where men die surer than any wilderness.
They've come to claim payment for creatures slain, blood spilled at the behest of a powerful holy man.
And Lenk has come to lay down his sword for good.
But this is no place to escape demons.

Tome of the Undergates, a vast and sprawling story of adventure, demons, madness and carnage. He lives in Arizona. He once punched an ostrich. What a great guy. Action fantasy with soul-albeit a small, dirty, funny soul.

Robin Hobb Sykes has put the fun back in fantasy with fantastical creatures and a lovable crew of malcontents.
The City Stained Redis like David Eddings meets Conan the Barbarian.

Scott Lynch Playful language, distinctly drawn characters, and a cavalcade of action.
SF Signal An entertaining blend of classic adventure and inventive inspiration.
Juliet E. McKenna, author ofThe Thief's Gamble Excitement, vivacity, and sly wit... simply impossible not to enjoy.
