The Angry lTooth
Description
In the salt-crusted pirate haven of Weller's Landing, where cutthroats drink beneath the sign of The Angry Tooth tavern, a dying dragon's only hope lies in a legend older than sin itself: the blood-red Gem of Li?the Gwillt'hir Stone. Belkantihr, once a terror of the skies, now wastes away under an ancient curse. His last chance rests with Bandoor, a jaded mercenary who trusts coin more than comrades, and an unlikely band of outcasts drawn together by desperation and greed. There's Falu, the sharp-tongued, fox-eared Llwyn bard whose songs hide sharper secrets; Tusse Hull, a mountain of muscle with a surprisingly gentle heart; and Knurl, the cunning scavenger who can pick any lock?except the ones binding his own past. To save Belkantihr, they must cross treacherous seas, outwit ruthless pirates, and breach the night-shrouded fortress of Skral?an ancient vampyric sorcerer whose hunger for the Gwillt'hir Stone matches his thirst for blood. But the stone is no simple treasure. Guarded by riddles carved in bone and protected by horrors that should have stayed buried, it demands a price none of them expected to pay. In a world where friendship is a blade that cuts both ways, Bandoor and his companions will face betrayal, monstrous foes, and the darkest corners of their own to retrieve the gem?or lose everything they've fought to protect. Bandoor's Dilemma is a gritty, character-driven dark fantasy adventure brimming with swashbuckling action, creeping horror, and the unbreakable bonds forged in fire. Perfect for fans of Joe Abercrombie, Nicholas Eames, and pirates who aren't afraid to get a little monstrous. One curse. One stone. One chance to cheat death?if the cost doesn't claim their souls first.
