A Discourse in Steel
Egil and Nix have retired, as they always said they would. No, really – they have! No more sword and hammer-play for them!
But when two recent acquaintances come calling for help, our hapless heroes find themselves up against the might of the entire Thieves Guild.
And when kidnapping the leader of the most powerful guild in the land seems like the best course of action, you know you’re in over your head…
Praise:
Adventures Fantastic: “The excitement never stops. The pacing is relentless. Yet at the heart of the book is a story about friendship and loyalty and sacrifice….a fantastic book.”
The Founding Fields: “Egil and Nix are back once again kicking serious ass in this sequel”
Mikel Andrews: ”This is the fantasy you’ve been craving.. If you’ve been dying for some real originality in the fantasy realm – with a scene of revenge that would make even Kick-Ass’ Hit Girl do a double-take – then Discourse in Steel is your next stop.”

Of all the characters in this genre, Egil and Nix are the two I would most love to sit down and drink with.
I wouldn’t mind a drink with them, either. 🙂
Another GREAT adventure. I just pre-ordered A Conversation in Blood. The title alone is worth the price of the book. Would love to collect all the tales in a nice hard cover version if it were to happen. Is there anyone in particular to contact about that? Keep up the great work. Thanks.
Just finished Discourse in Steel two nights ago. Enjoyed the heck out of it. Looking forward to the next installment.
Very glad to hear that, Matthew. Thank you. More coming!
