A-Good-Running-Away

About the Series

The Thirteen Kingdoms of the Misplaced Mercenaries universe create what a standard fantasy world might look like if you pantsed it, set it on fire, and kicked it into a pigpen full of switchblade-armed rattlesnakes.

Mercenaries, sorcerers, and royals butt heads and stab backs in their pursuit of empire and control, or just a simple tankard of ale in a quiet tavern.

Full of snark, fun, and laughs, this book series will keep you entertained and leave you happier for having read it.

Description

If the enemies of your enemies are still your enemies, how do you know who your friends are?

Smart-mouthed Keane and feared-warrior Sarah escape the mercenaries of Wallace’s Company to start somewhere fresh, where no one is trying to kill them. Keane steals the company’s wages in return for his attempted murder, and Sarah agrees to the plan.

Testimonials

“A Truly Cannot-Put-It-Down Rollicking Read: If you love fantasy adventure and bursting into laughter, you will love this book. Pettway has a delightful sense of humor and fun. Great female-warrior protagonist. Great relationship between the male and female protagonist. Lots of swashbuckling action and mercenaries are a lot like pirates on over land rather than sea. Grab a cuppa and some snugglie jammies, turn off your phone, and lose a day in wonder.” —Murshida Va

“Entertaining at a Great Pace: Kevin Pettway knows his way around a mercenary camp! Fun details and just the right blend of humor and plotting. Well done. This is my first read by this author, and I’d read him again. Thumbs up!! Entertained.” —LA Selby

A well-realized and lively caper.”—KIRKUS REVIEWS

Fair warning, he is a smartass there, too.
