MYSTERY AND MAGIC FROM A LEGENDARY MASTER
Footloose nobleman Penric journeys from young lord to sorcerer and
scholar in the Bastard's Order--and solves mysteries along the way.
Penric's Demon: On the way to his betrothal, young Lord Penric happens
upon a riding accident and stops to help. But the victim is a Temple
divine, servant to the five gods of this world. Her avowed god is The
Bastard, "master of all disasters out of season." As she lies dying, she
passes her strange powers to Penric--and changes the course of his life
forever.
Penric and the Shaman: Now a divine of the Bastard's Order as well as
a sorcerer and scholar, Penric must accompany a Locator of the Father's
Order assigned to capture a runaway shaman charged with the murder of
his best friend.
Penric's Fox: When Penric--sorcerer, scholar, and divine in the
Bastard's Order--travels to Easthome, the capital of the Weald, he once
again finds himself embroiled in a mystery. The body of a sorceress has
been found in the woods, and it is up to Penric and his friends, Shaman
Inglis and Locator Oswyl, to unravel a mystery mixing magic, murder, and
the strange realities of Temple demons.
