The Fifth Ward: Good Company cover

'If you're looking for a book that will give you everything you love about fantasy in a way you haven't seen it before, you've found it' B&N Sci-Fi and Fantasy Blog on First Watch

In the most dangerous district in the city, Rem and Torval have been perfecting their good cop, bad cop routine while protecting residents from the likes of drug-dealing orcs and mind-controlling elves.

Now, Rem and Torval must leave the city to escort a notorious thief through a dangerous forest. But the thief's companions are waiting, and the soldiers Rem and Torval journey with might not be so honourable.
