A courtesan turned assassin, a rogue weary of being a virtual slave to his guild, a crippled warrior, a farm boy anxious to make a name for himself, and an animated corpse reluctantly returned from the dead are a few of the denizens of the city of Bathos whose stories unfold in Escape from Devil's Head. Each has their own agenda, and when their paths cross, cries of betrayal and the clash of sword blades ring through the dim, twisting alleys.
