(03) PALADIN´S HOPE

Piper is a lich-doctor, a physician who works among the dead, determining causes of death for the city guard´s investigations. It´s a peaceful, if solitary profession...until the day when he´s called to the river to examine the latest in a series of mysterious bodies, mangled by some unknown force. Galen is a paladin of a dead god, lost to holiness and no longer entirely sane. He has long since given up on any hope of love. But when the two men and a brave gnole constable are drawn into the web of the mysterious killer, it´s Galen´s job to protect Piper from the traps that await them. He´s just not sure if he can protect Piper from the most dangerous threat of all...
