They are a demon-haunted people!
The sun-scorched coast of the Bay of Blood is a land of petty warlords and terrible sorcerers, where the strongest rule and the weak are sacrificed in the rite of conquest! At the heart of its eastern shore, the cursed city-state of Dazul labors under the thrall of the cruel Priest-Kings, a council of 91 sorcerer-exorcists who together subjugate a population desperate for hope. Scoured by the unnaturally deadly desert wind and befouled by the decaying stench of a poisoned sea, it is a land out of time, where the eternal rhythms of survival defy even the natural progress of change.
But nothing built by men or demons can ever truly be eternal, and change is coming, whether the city is ready or not. Thanks to:
Zenir, a common laborer and prodigy in the art of sorcery, recruited to the Priest-Kings as part of a secret bargain.
Mekharu Kestrel, sole heiress to a Palace Family who tried to change the city's fate . . . and failed.
And
Orlan “The Griffon” Saberman, grizzled mercenary and vigilante adventurer who bears a magical mask and a holy mission to stop evil, whatever the cost.
The three heroes' lives will intertwine as they each follow their own path, through romance and ambition, murder and mystery, false friends and unlikely allies, towards the dark secret at the heart of Dazul, an ancient crime and the legacy of a thousand years of unredressed sin!
(Also, sometimes it's funny, like, on purpose. Wouldn't want you to be surprised by that).
So sharpen your sword and load your pistol as you prepare to enter a land left behind by the modern age and unravel the mystery of:
The Hands of Nebt Bhakau
Volume One of the Nebt Bhakau Saga
Just one of a thousand:
TALES FROM THE BAY OF BLOOD
