    About this ebook

    Four swords-for-hire are good at what they do, but they need work in order to eat. A great opportunity presents itself, but it's a job for the militaristic, unlikable Lothians. Still, it's just a matter of killing some goblins. If the payment for this simple task wasn't so large, Booth probably have had the feeling that they're being asked to do something much worse...

    Greg M. Hall

    Greg M. Hall has over a dozen stories and two novels online and in print. Though no single genre can contain him, he's got a soft spot in his heart for Horror, Science Fiction, and Fantasy with dark elements. After living on Maui and in Southern California, he got sick of the mild weather and moved home to eastern Nebraska, where he lives with his wife, a bunch of kids, and second pet tortoise--the first one ran away.
