Book description
BLOOD FOLLOWS - In the port city of Lamentable Moll, a
diabolical killer stalks the streets and panic grips the citizens like
a fever. As Emancipor Reese's legendary ill luck would have it, his
previous employer is the unknown killer's latest victim. But two
strangers have come to town, and they have posted in Fishmonger's
Round a note, reeking of death-warded magic, requesting the services
of a manservant.
THE LEES OF LAUGHTER'S END - After their blissful sojourn
in Lamentable Moll, the sorcerers Bauchelain and Korbal Broach - along
with their manservant, Emancipor Reese - set out on the open seas
aboard the sturdy ship Suncurl. Alas, there's more baggage in
the hold than meets the beady eyes of the crew, and unseemly terrors
awaken. For Bauchelain and Korbal Broach, and Emancipor Reese, it is
just one more night on the high seas, on a journey without end.
THE HEALTHY DEAD - The city of Quaint's zeal for goodness
can be catastrophic, and no one knows this better than Bauchelain and
Korbal Broach, two stalwart champions of all things bad. The homicidal
necromancers - and their substance-addled manservant, Emancipor Reese
- find themselves ensnared in a scheme to bring goodness into utter
ruination. Sometimes you must bring down civilization...in the name of civilization.
