Fantasy
Action, horror, politics, and sensuality combine in this
DEBUT EPIC FANTASY novel for fans of George R. R. Martin and
Michael J. Sullivan, set in the world of the Eisner
Award-nominated Artesia comic books. To find the Sword, unearth the Barrow. To unearth
the Barrow, follow the Map. When a small crew of scoundrels, would-be heroes, deviants,
and ruffians discover a map that they believe will lead them
to a fabled sword buried in the barrow of a long-dead
wizard, they think they've struck it rich. But their hopes
are dashed when the map turns out to be cursed and then is
destroyed in a magical ritual. The loss of the map leaves
them dreaming of what might have been, until they rediscover
the map in a most unusual and unexpected place. Stjepan Black-Heart, suspected murderer and renegade royal
cartographer; Erim, a young woman masquerading as a man;
Gilgwyr, brothel owner extraordinaire; Leigh, an exiled
magus under an ignominious cloud; Godewyn Red-Hand,
mercenary and troublemaker; Arduin Orwain, scion of a noble
family brought low by scandal; and Arduin's sister Annwyn,
the beautiful cause of that scandal: together they form a
cross section of the Middle Kingdoms of the Known World,
united by accident and dark design, on a quest that will
either get them all in the history books...or get them all
killed.
