An exiled warlock sits fuming in his confinement. A not-so-secret holy Order can't keep its "elite" members alive. An idiot man-child talks to a dead man who leads him nearly to his death. A Holy Temple sits waiting for new tenants as the others were slaughtered by a demonic abomination. And a bull-headed mercenary is convinced he can trek off into the great north and learn magic.
Fantasy clichés are put to the test in this off-beat and dark fantasy story. There is an adventure, a journey, a quest if you will. But the "heroes", if you dare call them that, will not even come close to saving the world.
Call the jury back in . . . that is definitely the way to go. I laughed out at it. I am inspired to seek out the book - which is clearly what you have in mind!
