For fans of Brent Weeks, Joe Abercrombie, Peter V. Brett, and Scott
Lynch comes a fast-paced, hilarious new sword-and-sorcery series
featuring two wise-cracking protagonists straight out of the golden age
of epic fantasy.
Once the most daring--some would say reckless--grave robbers around,
Egil and Nix are now retired, having opened their own tavern with a side
business as a brothel. The warrior-priest and the dashing rogue are done
with adventuring. But is adventuring done with them? When two beautiful
sisters run afoul of the notorious Thieves' Guild, the semi-respectable
entrepreneurs are called upon to defend their honor. And if they find an
opportunity to enrich themselves along the way, no one could blame them.
Soon they're going toe-to-toe and hammer-to-skull with some of the
deadliest cutthroats in town. There's just one catch: The quest to
settle this vendetta once and for all leads straight into the
Blackalley, a ghostly byway that appears at random to suck unsuspecting
passersby into its voracious maw. Only a fool or a madman would enter
willingly. Luckily for Egil and Nix, they might just be both.
Praise for the Egil and Nix novels
"[Paul S.] Kemp delivers sword and sorcery at its rollicking best,
after the fashion of Fritz Leiber's Fafhrd and the Gray
Mouser."--Library Journal
"Egil and Nix might not be the safest guys to go adventuring with, but
they're sure good company."--Ed Greenwood, bestselling creator of
Forgotten Realms
"Did I mention how much fun Egil and Nix are? So. Much. Damn.
Fun."--Tordotcom
