The Fifth Ward: First Watch: The Fifth Ward
Autor Dale Lucasen Limba Engleză Paperback – 10 iul 2017
The
grit
of
grimdark
meets
a
police
procedural
in
this
rollicking
debut
fantasy
series
where
two
watchmen
protect
the
streets
of
one
of
fantasy's
most
dangerous
cities.
A
member
of
the
Yenara
City
guard
has
gone
missing.
The
culprit
could
be
any
of
the
usual
suspects:
drug-dealing
orcs,
mind-controlling
elves,
uncooperative
mages,
or
humans
being
typical
humans.
It's
up
to
two
reluctant
partners
--
Rem,
a
miscreant
who
joins
the
Watch
to
pay
off
his
bail,
and
Torval,
a
maul-wielding
dwarf
who's
highly
unimpressed
with
the
untrained
Rem
--
to
uncover
the
truth
and
catch
the
murderer
loose
in
their
fair
city.
"A
brilliant
premise,
wonderfully
told.
A
city
that
breathes,
and
heroes
you
can't
help
but
root
for."--
Nicholas
Eames,
author
ofKings
of
the
Wyld
"A
glorious
tour
through
fantasy's
seamier
side.
A
wilder
ride
than
Middle
Earth,
and
you'll
love
every
minute
of
it!"--
Jon
Hollins,
author
of
the
Dragon
Lords
series
