The Queen's Whim

There are tales of dashing knights and blushing ladies, and there are stories of bravery bound to become legend. Then there's the life of a mercenary.

Four swords-for-hire -- Giovanni, the supposed magician; Solister, the armored giant; Casic, the virtuous fighter; and Farrbiner, the drunken healer -- try to make their pockets heavy and their grief light. On their way to fame and fortune, or maybe just notoriety, they encounter every twist and turn the criminal underworld can throw at them. In a world full of double-crosses and shady motivations, can't a man just find a warm place to thrust his sword?

In Book 7: The Queen's Whim, the mercenaries return home to face their queen's justice, only to find her intentions for them don't involve the quick hanging they were expecting. They're tasked to do one last job as tensions within the group mount and familiar faces reappear. Will this monster of a job be their final undoing?
