The job should have been simple…
Tam Zphinx is a Rat Catcher, a detective of sorts in the decadent city of Derenz. He investigates petty crimes for low pay but when the gorgeous Jessa Valinton walks in offering a hundred times the usual fee, he and his partner Riles jump at the chance for an easy score…
But after his partner is murdered and other curious characters turn up wanting the same thing as the dame, things get monstrously complicated…
Dark Arts is an action-packed noir fantasy in the vein of classic pulp fiction and sword & sorcery tales. If you like mysterious intrigues, larger-than-life characters, and witty humor, then you’ll love James Alderice’s gritty tale. This is a prologue for The KINSLAYER and the epic fantasy Language of the Sword series.
