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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSoon 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePraise for the Egil and Nix novels\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\" Paul S.] Kemp delivers sword and sorcery at its rollicking best, after the fashion of Fritz Leiber's Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser.\"\u003cb\u003e--\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Egil and Nix might not be the safest guys to go adventuring with, but they're sure good company.\"\u003cb\u003e--Ed Greenwood, bestselling creator of Forgotten Realms\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Did I mention how much fun Egil and Nix are?
