About the Book
QUEST PERILOUS
Garth was promised immortal fame by the Forgotten King – a decrepit
ancient, dressed in yellow rags, who huddled over a tavern table in the
decaying outpost of Skelleth. But there was a price. Garth must first
bring back the creature he would find in the ancient crypts beneath the
ensorcelled city of Mormoreth.
To an overman, such as Garth, it seemed a simple task... until he found
that the way was beset by invisible bandits... that Mormoreth was ruled
by the dreaded enchanter Shang... and that the dweller in the crypts
was a basilisk, whose breath was poison, whose touch was deadly and
whose gaze turned any living creature to stone!
How does a man – or even an overman – entrap a basilisk? How can he
handle it on the long road back to Skelleth? And above all – what
possible use has the Forgotten King for a basilisk?
