Strange companyâŚ
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 heâs scouted an easy and lucrative victim. Attaching himself to odd traveler Penric seems simple enough, but when Rozâs old enemies catch up from behind, his plans take a turn for the much worse. When Penâs claim that I never travel alone proves true in ways Roz never imagined, his world becomes more frightening stillâbut also much wider than heâd ever dared to dream.
The internal chronological order of the Penric & Desdemona tales is presently:
âPenricâs Demonâ
âPenric and the Shamanâ
âPenricâs Foxâ
âMasquerade in Lodiâ
âPenricâs Missionâ
âMiraâs Last Danceâ
âThe Prisoner of Limnosâ
âThe Orphans of Raspayâ
âThe Physicians of Vilnocâ
The Assassins of Thasalon
âKnot of Shadowsâ
âDemon Daughterâ
"Penric and the Bandit."
