The first full-length novel inspired by the Thieves' World series. Janet Morris takes Tempus, immortal warrior and servant of the storm god Vashanka, and his band of mercenary Stepson followers outside the walls of Sanctuary.
A highly entertaining spin-off novel from the Thieves' World anthology series. If you are not familiar with the series, it was a wonderful concept: get various writers to submit short stories that all take place in the same locale, with "an array of central characters." It was great fun and hugely successful.
