We’re pleased to announce The Assassins of Thasaon, the first novel-length adventure featuring Penric and Desdemona.
An unholy attack upon his brother-in-law General Arisaydia pitches sorcerer Learned Penric and his Temple demon Desdemona headlong into the snake-pit of Cedonian imperial politics. But they will not travel alone. The mission from his god brings Penric some of his strangest new allies yet, and the return of some of his most valued old ones.
This novel-length story takes place two years after the events of “The Physicians of Vilnoc.”

The Assassins of Thasalon
(excerpt)
As he paced the sun-drenched streets of Vilnoc, Penric once more studied the note in his brother-in-law’s scrawling handwriting. It had been brought to his house this morning by a military courier, who’d had no enlightenment to add to the typically General-Arisaydia-curt message: Meet me in an hour at the duke’s palace. I need your ear.
Ear, as attentive judgment, his demon, Desdemona, pointed out in their silent speech. Not ears, as a grisly Rusylli tribal war trophy.
