Thraxas and the Warrior Monks

THRAXAS AND THE WARRIOR MONKS

In the scorching heat of the Turanian summer, Thraxas is doing his best to avoid working. But his plans for a spell of uninterrupted beer drinking and gambling go wrong when the Civil Guard arrest a man for murder, right in Thraxas's office. Outraged at this insult to his dignity, Thraxas goes into action. Soon he finds himself in the middle of a deadly war between two rival bands of ferocious warrior monks. Things get complicated when a sorcerer is killed and a consignment of the King's gold goes missing. To add to his difficulties, Makri decides to give shelter to a wanted criminal which is bound to attract a lot of unwanted attention from the city authorities. Worse, Sarin the Merciless is back in town, and the bodies are piling up at an alarming rate.
