What to expect
Strange company …
When Rozakajin, road-weary bandit and army deserter, spots a hapless blond young man in a country inn with an intriguing treasure map, he thinks he’s scouted an easy and lucrative victim. Attaching himself to odd traveler Penric seems simple enough, but when Roz’s old enemies catch up from behind, his plans take a turn for the much worse. When Pen’s claim that I never travel alone proves true in ways Roz never imagined, his world becomes more frightening still—but also much wider than he’d ever dared to dream.

Critics Review
“Golden Voice Grover Gardner is a familiar narrator to listeners of the Penric and Desdemona audiobooks…This novella set in the World of the Five Gods is the most recent of more than a dozen stories, but it stands on its own. Gardner slips into the familiar characters seamlessly. His leisurely pace and style befit Penric, and he handles the understated humor and magic without interrupting the flow of the story.”
