Village of the Waking Dead, page 7
part #2.50 of Thurlambria Series
Fortune's Fool (Thurlambria - Book 2) – What should have been a simple act of thievery leaves Anton Leyander with two bloody corpses and no spoils. Hiding out in a local theatre troupe, he soon learns that while there may not be much honour among thieves, there's even less among actors. In a tale featuring jealous lovers, assassins, and an amorous hunchback – not to mention a lady-pirate with a ship filled with gunpowder – the question becomes Will everyone die in the final act?
