Tempus

Relive the iconic adventures of Tempus, the Riddler, and his Sacred Band through the eyes of Nikodemos, his right-side companion, as Niko seeks his spirit's balance on Bandara's misty isles.
Five pivotal Sacred Band stories from the earliest adventures of the Stepsons in a world of thieves. Ride with Tempus and his Band once again, for the first time.
All the early adventures that made The Sacred Band of Stepsons cavalry a legend, collected in one volume. AND MORE:
Risk. Redemption. Resurrection.

“An End To Dreaming” – a rare tale of the dream lord and Cime, the sorcerer-slayer, before Tempus forms the Sacred Band;

“A Man And His God” – the much-anthologized life and death of Abarsis, the Stepsons' patron shade;

“A Better Class Of Enemy” – on Bandara, Niko struggles for insights to justify all the blood shed and lives lost in the Riddler's service;

“Dream Lord” – when the entelechy of dreams comes calling, worse always comes to worst.

Ride with Tempus and his Band once again, for the first time.
